INTRODUCTION:-
Splenules are small lymphoid tissues seen as a separate mass from the actual spleen. The site of occurrence of it may vary but it is mostly on the hilum part of spleen. Embryologically it is considered as ananomaly of incomplete fusion of mesenchymal buds ordran external injury to the area can also be a reason. Interesting fact is that it is functionally a mini-spleen and receives supply from the branches of splenic artery . The only identification points other than these is the sharp regular outer margin and the location. Here presence of splenic artery makes us sure that the structure is neither any pathology or a lymphadenopathy.
