The hydatid disease is a public health problem in endemic countries. the liver and lungs are the common organs involved, while the spleen is rarely involved. This is a case report of a hydatid cyst of the spleen in a sixty-year-old patient, without a particular history. The patient presented with symptoms of pain in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, which had lasted four months preceding admission. The patient was admitted to the hospital for abdominal trauma; investigations showed a splenic hydatic cyst. Treatment consisted of resection of the protruding dome, after the intake of albendazole to prevent complications. Follow-up was uneventful. This case highlights the rarity and clinical significance of recognizing splenic hydatid cysts, as well as the importance of post-treatment follow-up.
