a Wandering Spleen unusual cause of a pelvic mass
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2008Co-Authors: Sarah Wallace, Elaine Herer, Jane Kiraly, Eija Valikangas, Rose RahmaniAbstract:BACKGROUND: Wandering Spleen is a rare entity characterized by the incomplete fixation of the gastrosplenic ligaments. Several imaging modalities have been used to diagnose this condition, including Doppler ultrasonography, computed tomography, nuclear scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance imaging. CASE: We report a case of an asymptomatic woman presenting to a family planning center. An adnexal mass palpated on pelvic examination was diagnosed subsequently as a Wandering Spleen. CONCLUSION: This case illustrates that ultrasonography and nuclear medicine are useful to make a definitive diagnosis of Wandering Spleen.

Wandering Spleen as an asymptomatic pelvic mass.
Obstetrics and gynecology, 2003Co-Authors: Chantell Dalpe, Mary CunninghamAbstract:Wandering Spleen is caused by laxity of the ligaments surrounding the Spleen and may present as an asymptomatic pelvic mass. A 20-year-old woman with a neurogenic bladder was diagnosed with a pelvic mass on a routine screening ultrasound. The mass was described as solid and multilobulated, with the lobules measuring up to 5 cm in diameter. She was completely asymptomatic. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a Wandering Spleen. Wandering Spleen, though unusual, should be included on the differential diagnosis of patients with an asymptomatic solid pelvic mass.

Wandering Spleen: an unusual association with gastric volvulus.
AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 2007Co-Authors: Huai Tzu Michael Liu, Kenneth K. LauAbstract:WEB This is a Web exclusive article. andering Spleen is a rare condition characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of one or all of the ligaments that hold the Spleen in its normal position in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. Wandering Spleen and gastric volvulus share a common cause, the absence of an intraperitoneal visceral ligament. Herein we describe an unusual case of pediatric Wandering Spleen in association with gastric volvulus and diaphragmatic hernia.
