Accessory spleens are congenital foci of healthy splenic tissue that are separate from the main body of the spleen. They occur in 10–30% of individuals; a wandering accessory spleen located in the pelvis is uncommon. Most patients are asymptomatic. We describe the case of a female adolescent presenting with acute abdominal pain who had a pelvic accessory spleen that mimicked an adnexal mass. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
