RESUMO
Splenic tuberculosis is uncommon. It is reported in disseminated tuberculosis syndrome and can be a symptom of AIDS. Pseudo tumoral forms are rare. Diagnosis is difficult on the basis of the clinical and radiological presentation. Histological analysis confirms the diagnosis. We report the case of a 30 years old women treated for nodal tuberculosis. After 4 months of treatment, she consulted for non specific abdominal pain without other signs. Radiological exploration concluded for nodular spleen lesions. The patient had gone under a median laparotomy and a splenectomy was performed for multiple abscess in the spleen. Pathological exam of the spleen confirm that it was splenic tuberculosis
