Abstract

     Splenic artery aneurysm is rare and difficult to diagnose with high mortality from intraperitoneal rupture. A 50-year-old man with acute urinary retention and microscopic hematuria came to Hospital. An IVP was normal. Since the patient had persistent hematuria, an abdominal CT scan was done. A CT scan revealed a retroperitoneal mass abutted left adrenal gland and splenic artery. This finding could not differentiate between splenic artery aneurysm and adrenal mass. The diagnosis of splenic artery aneurysm was established at endoscopic ultrasound. The patient had elective splenectomy and aneurysmectomy. Eighteen months after the operation, no complications were discovered.
