Splenic abscess is a rare but serious condition. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial due to non-specific symptoms and potential for delayed care.

Area of Science:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Splenic abscess is a rare, potentially lethal condition.
  • Common symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, and fever are non-specific, often delaying diagnosis.
  • Early consideration in differential diagnosis is vital for timely intervention.

Observation:

  • Case 1: A 41-year-old female presented with splenic abscess following Streptococcus milleri bacteremia.
  • Case 2: A 78-year-old male had a splenic abscess secondary to colon carcinoma.
  • Case 3: A 52-year-old male developed a splenic abscess due to a colosplenic fistula post-bariatric surgery.

Findings:

  • This case series highlights diverse etiologies of splenic abscess, including infectious and neoplastic causes.
