Abstract
An anomalous case of the splenic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery, forming a lienomesenteric trunk, was found in a 70-year-old female among cadavers for student dissection. In this case, the celiac trunk was observed as a common trunk between the left gastric and the common hepatic arteries. Related to these findings, the accessory left gastric artery arose from the left hepatic, and an arcade was formed by anastomosis between the pancreatica magna artery of the splenic and the dorsal pancreatic artery of the common hepatic. Such a case was not described in Adachi's classification (1928), but belonged to type IV′′′of Morita's elassificatlon(1935)and to type IV of Michds' classification(1955).
