Wandering spleen presenting in the form of right sided pelvic mass and pain in a patient with AD-PCKD: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Wandering spleen is a rare clinical entity in which the spleen is hypermobile and migrate from its normal left hypochondriac position to any other abdominal or pelvic position as a result of absent or abnormal laxity of the suspensory ligaments (Puranik in Gastroenterol Rep 5:241, 2015, Evangelos in Am J Case Rep. 21, 2020) which in turn is due to either congenital laxity or precipitated by trauma, pregnancy, or connective tissue disorder (Puranik in Gastroenterol Rep 5:241, 2015, Jawad in Cureus 15, 2023). It may be asymptomatic and accidentally discovered for imaging done for other reasons or cause symptoms as a result of torsion of its pedicle and infarction or compression on adjacent viscera on its new position.

A review of a five (5) years experience (Sept. 2004-Aug. 2009) with hepatic resections at Gondar University Hospital (GUH).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common malignancy worldwide. Many patients with benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease have been referred to the surgical outpatient department (OPD) of GUH. Hepatic resection is appropriate treatment for a variety of benign or malignant primary or secondary liver tumors.
