Sometimes there really is an additional lobe in the spleen, which lies somewhere nearby. This is the result of an abnormal development of the spleen while still in the womb. An unpredictable thing.
No way
If you are lucky, then such an accessory spleen does not manifest itself in any way, and no one will know about it.
Badly
It is said that about 30% of children who enter surgery with unexplained abdominal pain may have such an accessory spleen.
She dangles in the stomach out of place and can transfer something there. This is called the vagus spleen.
And such an accessory spleen sometimes has a leg through which blood is supplied to it. Around this stem, the accessory spleen can twist. The blood flow will be disrupted, and this thing will hurt like a heart ache from a lack of blood flow. Have you presented? It literally ends sometimes spleen infarction.
It happens that a person's spleen is removed for some reason, and it suddenly grows back. Maybe in surgery time
a piece of the old spleen came off and grew somewhere in the belly, or somewhere in the belly there was already a small, but completely spleen spleen. Such a thing can start working for two, grow and ruin everything.The spleen usually catches sick and ugly blood cells. After removal of the spleen, they accumulate, and they become visible in the analyzes. Surgeons look at these cells and rejoice. Because they got exactly what they wanted. And then the ugly cells disappear and the blood becomes beautiful again. This already looks suspicious. Chances are that this accessory spleen has grown and is back to work.
Good
I have never heard of anyone enjoying an accessory spleen. In theory, if someone was hit by a car and lost their beloved spleen, it would be beneficial for their health to have a spare one in stock. But I have not seen this.
