Splenosis is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue, generally after traumatic splenic rupture. Usually, the peritoneal surface is affected. The viscera are rarely involved in this graft. We report a case of intrahepatic splenosis, which presented as a liver tumour on imagery in a 55-year-old man followed for lung carcinoma and chronic hepatitis C and who had undergone a splenectomy for trauma 22 years before. The different characteristics and diagnostic methods of 16 cases of hepatic splenosis are presented from the literature. These different reports emphasize the necessity of considering splenosis in the differential diagnosis of hepatic tumours.
