In this case presentation, a 13-year-oldadolescent with Gaucher disease on enzyme replacement treatment was presented, who was detected having an abdominal mass on a routine visit and diagnosed with partial torsion of a wandering spleen associated with left lobe hypoplasia of the liver
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:A wandering spleen is a rare condition characterized by the malposition of the spleen due to laxity or absence of its supporting ligaments.
