Abhimanyu Sharma, Priyanka Gogoi, Sunil Kumar

Abstract :

 Primary hydatid disease of the spleen is a rare entity. We present a case of a 14 year old male who presented with pain in left upper abdomen for 6 months. Ultrasonography was suggestive of cystic lesion of spleen. Splenectomy was performed. A specimen of spleen was received and a cyst was identified on cut section. Histopathology revealed hydatid disease of the spleen. This case of primary splenic hydatid cyst is rare and previously sparsely reported condition. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesion of spleen especially in endemic areas.
