摘要：

Splenic abscess is a rare entity normally associated with underlying diseases.We report a case of splenic abscess with large gas formation in a non-diabetic and non-immunosuppressed patient after surgery for colon perforation.The most frequent cause of splenic abscess is septic embolism arising from bacterial endocarditis.Splenic abscess has a high rate of mortality when it is diagnosed late.Computed tomography resolved any diagnostic doubt,and subsequent surgery confirmed the diagnosis.
