title: [Ectopic spleens. About a spleen of the right iliac fossa (author's transl)].
abstract: A rare case of the presence of the spleen in the right iliac fossa is reported. The frequency and signs of ectopic and supernumerary spleens are described, the latter requiring differentiation from peritoneal splenosis. An embryological explanation for the presence of the spleen in the right iliac fossa is suggested.
