What is True about splenunculi and explain in detail?
Splenunculi are single or multiple accessory spleens that are found in approximately 10-30% of the population. They are located near the hilum of the spleen in 50% of cases and are related to the splenic vessels, or behind the tail of the pancreas in 30%. The remainder are located in the mesocolon, greater omentum or the splenic ligaments. Their significance lies in the fact that failure to identify and remove these at the time of splenectomy may give rise to persistent disease. Ref: Bailey and love 27th edition Pg no : 1178
