Abstract
Heterotopic splenic tissue (HST) can be classified into two entities: splenosis, resulting from autotransplantation of splenic tissue, and accessory spleens, arising embryologically. HST has been found in numerous locations within the abdominal cavity and beyond. It has particular clinical importance in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) as a possible cause for relapse after splenectomy.1
