Özet

Accessory spleen is an incidental finding of no clinical significance in most patients. Essential thrombocytosis is a chronic, myeloproliferative disorder with a clinical course complicated by thrombotic episodes. We report on a case of essential thrombocytosis presented with infarction of the accessory spleen secondary to splenic vein thrombosis. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
