ACEVEDO, José A. et al. Intrapancreatic accessory spleen mimicking a tumor of the pancreatic tail. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.4, pp.1-10. ISSN 2250-639X.

Accessory spleens in the abdominal cavity are relatively frequent (10-15% of the general population). Of these, 1.7% may present intrapancreatic localization. An accessory spleen located in the pancreas requires making a differential diagnosis with solid tumors of the tail of the pancreas. We report on a case treated by laparoscopic pancreatectomy.

Keywords : accesory spleen, distal pancreatectomy, pancreatic tumor..
