Because CEUS has been incorporated into everyday clinical practice, malignant diseases such as focal...

increased morbidity rate with the danger of postsplenectomy infections. Current therapeutic strategies established spleenpreserving treatment in cases of trauma and benign lesions [2, 3] . Therefore, we consider that percutaneous drainage or laparoscopic excision should be used instead of total splenectomy as the treatment of choice for splenic benign cysts [2–6] . Besides, it is highly questio...

A 21-year-old male with pet dogs at home, presented with 3 months history of gradually increasing discomfort in the left hypochondrium and tender splenomegaly. He had marked eosinophili...

CONTEXT Accessory spleen is a congenital abnormality consisting of normal splenic tissue in ectopic sites that is found in approximately 10-15% of the general population. However, an intrapancreatic accessory spleen has seldom been reported and multiple epithelial cysts in the intrapancreatic accessory spleen are extremely rare. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old woman with no clinical manifestations ...
