Abstract

Introduction: Splenic tuberculosis is a rare hematopoietic localization of this infectious pathology. Representing 1% of all tuberculosis sites and 10% of extrapulmonary localizations (1). Herein, we present a case discovered incidentally during splenectomy for splenic tuberculosis.

The aim of our study is to highlight the diagnostic challenges and evaluate the role of surgery in its management.

Patient & Observation: Patient Information: A 37-year-old male, known case of schizophrenia under treatment, chronic smoker with a history of 10 pack-years, occasional alcohol consumer, and cannabis user. His symptoms began a year prior to admission with left hypochondrial abdominal pain, progressively worsening, non-radiating, with associated chronic constipation, no external gastrointestinal bleeding, all occurring amidst a febrile sensation and general deterioration marked by asthenia, anorexia, and a weight loss of 15 kg over 6 months.
