Abstract

Context Article analyzes current data on macroamylasemia and splenosis, their etiology and diagnostics in particular. Case Report Authors presented their own clinical observation of a young woman who was diagnosed to have macroamylasemia on the background of splenosis due to the splenectomy after blunt abdominal injury. Conclusion This is the first time such a combination of macroamylasemia on the background of splenosis has been described in the literature.
