Duplication of the spleen with a short pancreas.

ABSTRACT

The most common form of splenic anomaly with a concurrent short pancreas is polysplenia, which has been described in various studies in the radiological literature. However, splenic duplication has never been reported. We report here a case of splenic duplication associated with a short pancreas and pre-duodenal portal vein. This extremely rare case of splenic anomaly shows unique multidetector CT findings that are distinguishable from a splenic lobulation or cleft.
