Two rare cases of intrathoracic splenosis are reported. This phenomenon occurs almost exclusively in young men who have experienced splenic rupture and diaphragmatic laceration. The late occurrence of splenosis in the thoracic cavity poses problems in the differential diagnosis of solitary or multiple pleural-based nodules. It is important to recognize this entity from a clinical, radiographic, and therapeutic perspective.
