A Retroperitoneal Accessory Spleen Misdiagnosed as Pheochromocytoma in a Patient with Hypertension: A Case Report
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Accessory spleen occurs in about 10% to 30% of the population which is usually asymptomatic and does not require treatment [1]. The common location is the hilum of the spleen and around the tail of pancreas [2]. The retroperitoneal accessory spleen in the adrenal area is extremely rare and the diagnosis is challenging even for experienced urologists. In the present study, the case of a female patient with an accessory spleen who underwent surgical resection under the diagnosis of a left adrenal tumor was reported.
