Summary
An intrapancreatic accessory spleen, a rare pancreatic mass mimic, presents unique imaging features. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help identify this condition, with scintigraphy offering confirmation.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Medical Imaging
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Accessory spleens are congenital anomalies, typically located in the abdomen.
- Intrapancreatic location of an accessory spleen is exceptionally rare.
- These lesions can mimic pancreatic neoplasms on imaging studies.
