A member asked:
U/s showed accessory spleen on my kidney, how is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Congential : It's not really "on the kidney" is near the kidney. An accessory spleen can develop at birth and does not usually cause any harm or symptoms. It is usually found from abdominal x-rays like a ct scan, or a surgery on other abdominal organs.
