Abstract
Tumor development in a transplanted pancreas is fatal for the graft and the recipient [1, 2]. Distinguishing a benign condition in the pancreatic graft from malignant tumors is important because it significantly changes patient care. We encountered a case of intrapancreatic accessory spleen presenting as a slow-growing mass in the transplanted pancreas. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first case report describing this entity occurring in a transplanted pancreas. Radiologic findings and differential diagnoses will be discussed.
