Case report highlights misinterpretation of imaging in a rare splenopancreatic fusion condition, suggesting caution in diagnosis.
Splenopancreatic fusion is an uncommon anomaly characterized by fusion of the pancreatic tail and splenic hilum due to disturbed embryogenesis. Although typically asymptomatic, it may be detected incidentally on imaging studies, presenting a potential diagnostic challenge. We report a case of splenopancreatic fusion with focal FDG avidity on 18F-FDG PET/CT mimicking pathology and constituting a diagnostic pitfall.
