splenopancreatic fusion
Splenopancreatic fusion is an uncommon finding, usually only seen as part of the splenopancreatic field abnormality associated with trisomy 13. It may present itself either as ectopic splenic tissue in the cauda pancreatis, as ectopic pancreatic tissue in the spleen or accessory spleen, or as fusion of the cauda pancreatis and splenic hilum.
