Accessory spleens are present in 10% of population and are formed during embryonic development. Besides the splenic hilum, the next most frequent localization of accessory spleens is the pancreatic tail.

On contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), differentiation of an intrapancreatic accessory splenule (IPAS) from other pancreatic tail lesions such as islet cell tumors and metastatic di...
متن کاملCase note: intrapancreatic accessory spleen mimicking a pancreatic endocrine tumour.
We report a case of intrapancreatic accessory spleen that was initially misdiagnosed as an endocrine tumour. Although rare, this anomaly should be included in the differential diagnosis of caudal pancreatic masses to avoid unnecessary surgeries.
متن کاملLaparoscopic Resection of an Epithelial Cyst in an Intrapancreatic Accessory Spleen
An epithelial cyst in an intrapancreatic accessory spleen (ECIAS) is rare. We herein report a case of a patient with ECIAS who underwent laparoscopic surgery. A 57-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of a pancreatic tail tumor. She was asymptomatic, and a physical examination revealed no remarkable abnormalities. The levels of the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) ...
