Abstract Intrapancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS) is a rare differential diagnosis of a solitary hypervascular lesion. It is not uncommon to misdiagnose IPAS as pancreatic tumors since no specific imaging has been developed for the differential diagnosis. We described a rare case of a male patient with a unilateral accessory nipple and a solitary hypervascular lesion in the pancreas. The patient underwent a distal pancreaticosplenectomy, and IPAS was finally diagnosed.
