  • Retrospective analysis revealed a 40-day interval between abdominal contusion and presentation.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with a splenic abscess.
  • The abscess developed following a significant delay after the initial abdominal injury.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering delayed splenic abscess in patients with a history of abdominal trauma.
