الوصف: Wandering spleen is a rare condition that occurs when there is an acquired or congenital hypelaxity of the suspensory ligaments of the spleen, resulting in its migration to any abdominal or pelvic position.A 43-year-old woman presented with symptoms of acute abdominal pain. At physical examination, a splenomegaly was found in the left hypochondria, thereafter followed by a secondary migration of the lump to a periumbilical location. Computed tomography revealed a wandering spleen with vascular pedicle torsion. Splenopexia was perfomed.A wandering spleen is most frequently observed in children and young women. This rare diagnosis should be considered facing a recurrent abdominal pain syndrome, a splenomegaly accompanied with pain, or a pelvic lump. A wandering spleen may lead to torsion of the vascular pedicle of the spleen, a chronic volvulus with portal hypertension, or even a splenic infarction. The diagnosis is performed by computed tomography. Wandering spleen is treated surgically, by splenopexy or splenectomy.
