[Splenic abscess]
Abstract
Splenic abscess consists a very rare pathology. There were less than 300 cases described in the literature in the last 10 years. We report a case of 68 year old women with the splenic abscess with a history of blunt trauma of the left side chest wall two years earlier. The diagnosis was confirmed by USG and CT. The patient underwent splenectomy. The post operative course was uneventful.
