ABSTRACT
Wandering spleen is a rare condition characterized by migration of the spleen from its normal position due to laxity or absence of the supporting splenic ligaments. Ultrasonography shows the absence of the spleen in left upper quadrant (LUQ) and the presentation in the lower abdomen of a homognous mass whose sonographic appearance is consistent with that of a spleen. Contrast-enhanced CT reveals the absence of the spleen in LUQ, a soft tissue mass resembling spleen in the lower abdomen, and the splenic pedicle of whirled appearance. We present a case of wandering spleen, which could be diagnosed with US and CT by the ectopic location of spleen and the whirling pattern of splenic pedicle.
