During the operation, "spleen-like" tissueattached to the gonad induced splenogonadal fusion, whichwas confi rmed by laparoscopy. The patient also had a shortright femur, hip dysplasia and a syndromic face.Conclusion: Splenogonadal fusion anomaly shouldbe considered in the evaluation of undescended testis,especially in patients with facial and limb deformities.展开更多

An endoscopic intervention revealed a mass that protruded into the stomach lumen [Figure 1a]. A biopsy revealed nonnal gastric intlcosa. Computed tomography （CT） indicated a mass of about 2 cm between the pancreatic tail, spleen, and stomach. CT angiography showed a 27 mm aneurysm dilatation in the first 3^rd of the middle splenic artery [Figure lb].展开更多
