Introduction: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare condition with a significant decrease in the angle between the SMA and the abdominal aorta.

Article Synopsis
- The spleen develops from mesenchymal cells in the dorsal mesentery during embryogenesis, and accessory spleens are common anomalies that can be mistaken for tumors; this case is the first report of three accessory spleens found in Syria in a patient who had a prior splenectomy.
- A 33-year-old male experienced right-sided abdominal pain, and after medical evaluation, imaging tests showed a lobulated mass in the right adrenal gland and elevated levels of metanephrine, suggesting a pheochromocytoma; laparoscopic surgery ultimately revealed multiple accessory spleens without signs of cancer.
- The case emphasizes the importance of considering accessory spleens in patients with masses near the adrenal glands, as they can complicate diagnosis and treatment
