Challenging Diagnosis of Intrapancreatic Accessory Spleen in the Tail of the Pancreas: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Intrapancreatic accessory spleen, or splenunculus, is a congenital condition that occurs in up to 2% of the population, with the tail of the pancreas being the second most common site. Imaging alone may not confirm the diagnosis as this can mimic a hypervascular tumor on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This report presents a challenging case of intrapancreatic accessory spleen in the tail of the pancreas in a 64-year-old man.
