Key Words Splenic tuberculosis; Splenectomy; Tuberculosis; Pathological diagnosis; Case report
Core Tip Although rare, splenic tuberculosis should be considered for patients with risk factors for tuberculosis or a relevant history. A high index of suspicion should be maintained for splenic masses with an unclear diagnosis to avoid missed diagnosis of splenic tuberculosis. When necessary, percutaneous needle biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis, thereby avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention. Alternatively, after thorough evaluation, partial splenectomy may be considered to preserve spleen function.
