Abstract
Introduction
Supernumerary spleens are rare in the general population. The unusual nature of this location poses difficult diagnostic problems. This observation reports two accessory spleens discovered intraoperatively during a laparotomy indicated for generalized peritonitis.
Keywords: Splenectomy - Splenectomy - Peritonitis - Supernumerary spleen.
