| Abstract: | Torsion of an accessory spleen is a very unusual entity that can appear with abdominal pain associated with the presence of an avascular mass. We report the case of a 13-year-old boy with torsion and infarction of an accessory spleen presenting as a painful abdominal mass in which imaging examination with US, CT and MR showed a large avascular mass in the upper left abdomen.
