Parasplenic refers to the presence of one or more endothelial tissues that are structurally similar and functionally identical to the spleen in addition to the normal spleen. The incidence is about 10-30%. The cause of the disease is mostly related to heredity.
Parasplenic generally has no special clinical manifestations, occasionally may occur spontaneous rupture, embolism and tip torsion and lead to abdominal pain and other manifestations, serious cases can lead to shock, generally, parasplenic will not lead to the patient to appear thin.
Generally speaking, patients with parasplenism do not have obvious clinical symptoms, and the lesions may be discovered by chance during physical examination.
If the patient is thin, firstly, physiological reasons should be considered, as the patient maintains a thin body shape due to his/her own daily dietary habits, with no other clinical manifestations. The second consideration is pathological factors, such as: indigestion, tumor lesions and so on. At this time, patients need to go to the hospital as soon as possible, to clarify the specific conditions and then carry out drug treatment or surgical treatment.
