INTRAPANCREATIC ACCESSORY SPLEEN AS A DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF TAIL PANCREAS TUMOR
Intrapancreatic accessory spleen is a rare, asymptomatic, benign pathology that is usually diagnosed accidentally. When faced with a solid tumor of the pancreas, especially with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, it is important to consider the hypothesis of an accessory spleen as the therapeutic proposal for each disease is completely different and therefore, the patient's prognosis.
