title: Contrast-enhanced sonography of intrapancreatic accessory spleen in six patients.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this article is to describe the characteristic findings of intrapancreatic accessory spleen over time on contrast-enhanced sonography.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  On contrast-enhanced sonography, intrapancreatic accessory spleens showed a characteristic inhomogeneous enhancement on the early vascular phase, enhancement similar to the main spleen during the postvascular phases, and prolonged enhancement on the delayed hepatosplenic phase.
