Abstract
Wandering spleen, a rare clinical entity with a high incidence of splenic torsion and infarction, was preoperatively diagnosed in a 28-year-old woman. Axial computed tomography showed the absence of the spleen in the left subphrenic space and a spleen-like mass in the pelvis, suggestive of a wandering spleen. A coronal contrast-enhanced computed tomography image exhibited the enlarged spleen suspended by elongated, dilated, and somewhat tortuous splenic vessels. Owing to the symptomatic splenomegaly with hypersplenism and chronic torsion, laparoscopic splenectomy was performed.
