Description
Summary:Abstract Spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in humans. It is situated in the left hypochondrium and partly in the epigastrium, between the fundus of the stomach and the diaphragm. It consists of large encapsulated mass of lymphoid and vascular tissues (1). We encountered a case of partially fused splenic lobule in the anterior end with attachment to the main splenic mass through a stalk of splenic tissue. As such, the variation of this kind is rare and had various important clinical implications in the field of surgery, radio diagnosis and gastroenterology.
