ABSTRACT
A wandering spleen is a rare entity characterized by incomplete fixation of the spleen by lienorenal and gastrosplenic ligaments. The spleen can migrate to the lower abdomen or pelvis and the condition can be congenital or acquired. We report a case of torsion of a wandering spleen in a patient presenting with progressing mild left upper quadrant pain.
