Intrapancreatic accessory spleen: An eluding diagnosis.

: Intrapancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS) is a benign anomaly of splenic embryology and a rare cause of pancreatic pseudotumour. Here, we report a case of a 70-year-old Malay lady whose IPAS was discovered incidentally during her surveillance computed tomography for her underlying left lower lung fibrosis. Radiologically, the lesion mimicked a neuroendocrine pancreatic tumour and was only diagnosed pathologically as IPAS after surgery. In conclusion, recognising IPAS as a differential for enhancing pancreatic mass allows us to exhaust all non-invasive diagnostic means to diagnose this benign lesion. It will allow the patient to avoid unnecessary surgery and its accompanying complications.
