A case of volvulus of ectopic spleen mistaken for twisted ovarian cyst is described. Attention is drawn to six points: 1) the rarity of the condition; 2) the persistent uncertainty concerning its aetiopathogenesis, even though over a century has passed since the first case was reported; 3) the mechanism leading to twisting of the spleen stalk; 4) the absence of specific symptoms and the consequent impossibility of preoperative diagnosis in most cases; 5) the ready confusion with ovarian cyst; 6) the reasons for supposing that the reported case was the result of congenital factors.
本文描述了一例异位脾扭转误诊为卵巢囊肿扭转的病例。文中提请注意六点：1）该病罕见；2）尽管自首例病例报告以来已过去一个多世纪，但其病因发病机制仍持续存在不确定性；3）导致脾蒂扭转的机制；4）缺乏特异性症状，因此大多数病例术前无法诊断；5）易与卵巢囊肿混淆；6）认为该报告病例是先天性因素所致的原因。
