Abstract
A 28-year-old man with no medical history visited our hospital with lower abdominal pain and fever. The physical examination revealed a large firm lower abdominal mass with tenderness but no signs of peritonitis. Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis and a slight elevation of the CRP. Abdominal enhanced 3D-CT revealed a wandering spleen which had clockwise rotation in the pelvis with infarction. We therefore performed a splenectomy. No postoperative complication occurred and the patient was discharged on the 8th day after the operation.
