My daughter was diagnosed with accessory spleen at 6 months, but had a normal spleen at 2 months? what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal variant: A significant number of people ~ 8-10% of the general population, according to one source, may have accessory spleens. In most, they remain undiagnosed unless an imaging study is done for some reason. There is generally no medical side effect in most cases.
