RESUMO
Splenic tubeculosis is a very rare disorder, few reported in the literature. Here we report 2 patients with splenic tuberculosis, who were admitted to our hospital due to unknown origin fever. Computerized tomography and abdominal ultrasonography revealed the presence of multiple hypodense and anechoic or hypoechoic lesions in spleen. Ultrasonography-guided percutaneous aspiration was suitable in our cases. All laboratory test showed non-specific findings. Splenectomy was performed. After splenectomy they were treated with appropriate antibiotics. They were discharged with a good general condition without any complications.
