Splenosis in patient undergoing robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

Splenosis is a benign condition that is often found in patients with a history of trauma. Most cases are intra-abdominal due to direct seeding of surrounding structures. We report a case of splenosis in the pelvis found in a 59-year-old male during a robotic prostatectomy.
