The authors present a case report of a 60‐year‐old man with a hepatic unknown mass. For diagnosis, they used ECO, CT (with and without contrast), MR (with and without contrast) and an ultrasound‐assisted percutaneous lesion biopsy. Thus the mass‐lesion in the liver appeared to be an intrahepatic accessory spleen in a patient afflicted with chronic hepatitis.
