Accessory spleen masquerading as a pancreatic neoplasm

Theresa L Schwartz et al. Am J Surg. 2009 Jun.

Abstract

A patient with a pancreatic mass noted on a computed tomography scan was suspected of having a nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm. The eventual diagnosis of intrapancreatic accessory spleen was made by noninvasive means, thus avoiding unnecessary surgery.
