Abstract

In imaging studies, some developmental anomalies such as perisplenic accessory spleen are easily recognizable due to their high incidence. However, other, less common anomalies such as intrapancreatic accessory spleen, splenopancreatic fusion, splenogonadal fusion, heterotaxy, and wandering spleen, as well as acquired conditions such as splenosis, can pose diagnostic difficulties. This aim of this review is to show the imaging diagnosis and differential diagnoses of these uncommon splenic anomalies.

Resumen

En las exploraciones radiológicas abdominales, algunas anomalías del desarrollo, como el bazo accesorio periesplénico, son fácilmente reconocibles debido a su elevada incidencia. Sin embargo, otras menos frecuentes, como el bazo accesorio intrapancreático, la fusión esplenopancreática o esplenogonadal, la heterotaxia y el bazo errante, así como anomalías adquiridas como la esplenosis, pueden plantear dificultades diagnósticas. El propósito de nuestra revisión es mostrar los hallazgos radiológicos y el diagnóstico diferencial de dichas anomalías esplénicas poco habituales.
