Hepatic splenosis was first described in 1939 and is a rare condition that results from splenic trauma or splenectomy.  A 43-year-old man with a past medical history significant for a prior splenectomy was admitted to the hospital due to right upper quadrant pain for two days. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen suggested features of hepatic adenoma, however, a percutaneous biopsy showed the mass within the liver to be a discrete collection of splenic tissue, apparently the result of a traumatic splenic rupture years ago.  Hepatic splenosis is a rare entity, and due to the asymptomatic nature of this condition, most cases are found incidentally after different imaging modalities are done. The management of this entity is based on conservative measures. We report this case to emphasize that in the appropriate clinical setting, hepatic splenosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient with a homogenous well-circumscribed liver mass.
