Abstract
A further case of intra-abdominal autotransplantation of splenic tissue is presented. The main importance of the condition probably lies in its recognition at laparotomy. In the present case although the autotransplanted tissue was histologically similar to normal splenic tissue no normal splenic function could be ascribed to it.Keywords
