[email protected] Abstract Congenital asplenia is a rare life-threatening condition, often presenting with pneumococcal sepsis. It may arise as part of situs abnormalities or result from an unrelated specific defect of spleen development. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Most of these presented in the early years of life and only seven cases were diagnosed in the adult [ 1 ]. [omicsonline.org]

Although it is generally a benign condition, it can radiographically mimic malignancy and result in extensive workup and invasive procedures. Congenital asplenia is most often found in association with other developmental anomalies. [emedicine.medscape.com]
