Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
An accessory spleen is a small nodule of splenic tissue found apart from the main body of the spleen. It is also called as supernumerary spleen, splenule, or splenunculus. Present in up to 20% of the population, one or more accessory spleens may also occur in upto 30% of patients with hematologic disease and 10–44% of necropsies. Mostly it is asymptomatic and is found incidentally on Computed Tomography Scan or during other abdominal surgeries. It is symptomatic in few cases where it presents as a lump in abdomen. We present a case of large splenunculi presenting as a lump in abdomen. Patient underwent excision of the cyst with resection and anastomosis of the small bowel segment as it involved its mesentery in its entire breadth. A brief case report with review of literature is presented.
