Abstract
Accessory spleens are present in 10% of population and are formed during embryonic development. When an accessory spleen is located in the pancreas, it may mimic a hypervascular pancreatic tumor and can make a diagnostic difficulty. Most of the cases were identified only after surgical resection. Herein, we present the case of a 52-year old man whom laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy was performed with suspicion of neuroendocrine tumor. Postoperative histopathological examination revealed the intrapancreatic accessory spleen.
