Wandering Spleen: A Rare Case of an Adnexal Lesion

The wandering spleen (WS) is a rare condition in which the spleen is not found in its usual location in the left hypochondrium but is positioned in the lower abdomen or the pelvis. This is a case of a 21-year-old woman who presented with chronic, intermittent, and subtle pain in the left lower quadrant of her abdomen. After clinical examination and ultrasound evaluation, an adnexal lesion was detected in the left lumbar area, and no splenic tissue was found in the left hypochondrium. The wandering spleen should be included in the differential diagnosis when encountering a patient with non-typical or acute abdominal pain. Accurate diagnostic evaluation can be performed with low-cost imaging modalities such as Doppler ultrasound.
