Abstract
The diagnosis of wandering spleen is usually made at the time of operation owing to symptoms caused by torsion of the spleen. Splenectomy has been performed in almost all of the reported cases. A 6-year-old girl presented with intermittent abdominal pain and a mobile abdominal mass. The diagnosis of wandering spleen was confirmed by computerized tomography. Elective splenopexy was performed by securing the spleen in an extraperitoneal pocket.
