Splenic tuberculosis is an uncommonly considered diagnosis in clinical practice. This is a case report of splenic tuberculosis in a 13-year-old boy who was seronegative to HIV. He was just well until 7 days prior to this admission when he started to feel epigastric and left subchondral pain. Chest X -ray was not pathological. Abdominal ultrasonography showed slight splenomegaly with multiple hypoec:hoi<: nod\\\e-s a\\d abdl)ID.lna\ (,1' uisdosea mu)tip)e irregular hypodense lesions in the spleen. Radiological interpretation suggested the possibility of lymphoma or metastatic malignancy. Splenectomy was done and the histopathological findings showed extensive chronic: granulomatous inflammation compatible with tuberculosis. Splenic tuberculosis 1l1ust be included in the differential diagnosis of hypoechoic and hypodense lesions by means of sonography and computed tomography, respectively.
Index Words: Spleen, Tuberculosis.

Fig. 1. Sonogram shows multiple hypoechoic lesions all over the spleen with slight irregular margins.
Fig. 2. An abdominal CT scan shows multiple hypodense nodules in an enlarged spleen.
Fig. 3. Cut-surface of the spleen shows various sized nodular masses with irregular margins in the entire crgan.
Fig. 4. Exuberant tuberculoid grannulomas destroy almost entire parenchyma, with central caseation necrosis and Langhans-type giant cells (HE, x 100).
