Accessory spleens are often diagnosed through anatomopathological examination due to nonspecific clinical features. This case highlights a retroperitoneal mass found to be accessory splenic tissue.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomopathology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Accessory spleens are congenital anomalies that can present as masses.
  • Their diagnosis is often challenging due to nonspecific clinical presentations.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a retroperitoneal mass.
  • Initial diagnostic workup did not strongly suggest splenic tissue.

Findings:

  • The retroperitoneal mass was surgically resected.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the mass was composed of accessory splenic tissue.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering accessory spleens in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses.
