Splenosis is defined as the growth of ectopic splenic tissue, due to its direct seeding, usually seen after traumatic or surgical procedures to the spleen. It often occurs on highly vascularized surfaces such as the omentum or the mesentery, and grows in sessile form, supplied by adjacent vessels. Intestinal splenosis with endoluminal extension is extremely rare. We present a case of intestinal splenosis with endoluminal growth in a 14-year-old boy that provoked a small bowel intussusception requiring surgical resolution.
