Accessory spleen at hilum – A case report
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Accessory spleens are congenital and incidental. They are formed as a result of failure of fusion of multiple buds of splenic tissue in the dorsal mesogastrium in the embryonic life. They can be misdiagnosed with pancreatic tumor or adenoma and can lead to recurrence of hematologic disorders even after splenectomy. The present case report is regarding the incidental finding of accessory spleen at the hilum during routine anatomical dissection. It was supplied by a separate branch from splenic artery and connected with the main splenic mass by a thin band of similar tissue.
