Abstract

Here, a patient with ectopic (pelvic) spleen was reported. The diagnosis was made by sonography in the preoperative period. The pathologic examination of spleen revealed thrombosis of vessels, congestion and areas of microinfarcion. These findings have been commented as the evidence of intermittent torsion of spleen. This is the first case of ectopic spleen diagnosed ultrasonographically in Turkey.
