Is an accessory nipple associated with an intrapancreatic accessory spleen?

摘要

Intrapancreatic accessory spleen(IPAS)is a rare differential diagnosis of a solitary hypervascular lesion.It is not uncommon to misdiagnose IPAS as pancreatic tumors since no specific imaging has been developed for the differential diagnosis.We described a rare case of a male patient with a unilateral accessory nipple and a solitary hypervascular lesion in the pancreas.The patient underwent a distal pancreaticosplenectomy,and IPAS was finally diagnosed.
