Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)frequently leads to splenectomy, Accessory spleens maybe found in a variety of locations, and may not b e readily apparent. Retained accessory splenic tissue can lead to recu rrent ITP, which, this report (involving multiple relapses in a single patient) demonstrates. Copyright (C) 1996 by W.B. Saunders Company
