[Ectopic spleen--2 case reports].
Wandering spleen occurs consequently to the embryonal disturbances in the development of ligaments connecting the spleen with surrounding tissue. It is rarely the cause of abdominal discomfort, which is usually mild, but nevertheless it can be expressed within the signs of acute abdomen. In our study, two cases of wandering spleen are presented, the diagnosis was put according to the intermittent pain in lower abdomen, echotomography, radionuclide imaging and selective angiography. Splenectomy revealed subjective discomfort. In women, wandering pelvic spleen might be mis-diagnosed as a gynecological disease.
