RESUMO
Accessory spleens are frequent entities, but their infarction due to arterial stasis caused by segmental portal hypertension is extremely rare. We present this case of a 38-year-old female patient with a three-week history of abdominal pain and an abdominal CT scan revealing a 7 cm mass near the spleen and tail of pancreas with segmental portal hypertension. The patient had no hematologic disease. This mass was surgically resected, with a pathological diagnosis of an infarcted accessory spleen.

Splenic cysts, very rare pathologies, are classified into parasitic and the highly uncommon, non parasitic cysts. Based on the presence or absence of an epithelial lining wall, the latters are classified into true cysts and false cysts. We present a case of a 23-year-old male who presented to our clinic with a several-month history of abdominal discomfort that was due to the compressive effect of a huge nonparasitic true splenic cyst.
