Splenunculus, which is also called accessory spleen, refers to any of the small globular masses that are physiologically and histologically similar to the spleen. These nodules may be attached to the spleen, or detached from it and may be found in the splenic region, such as in the splenic hilum, or elsewhere in the peritoneum folds.
