Yun, Lee, Kim, Pyun, Lee, Lee, Kim, and Kim: To rsion of the Accessory Spleen with Infarction: CT Features in a Case Report

Abstract

Torsion of the accessory spleen is a rare entity that can have variable clinical presentations. We report case involving an 11-year-old boy with severe abdominal pain and a mass that was found to be due to infarction of the accessory spleen, which was twisted on its pedicle. CT revealed a low-attenuating mass with peripheral inflammatory changes in the left upper abdomen. The mass was pathologically confirmed as torsion of the ac-cessory spleen with infarction.
