UNLABELLED
Splenic Artery Aneurysms (SAAs) are usually single and small lesions, and their size rarely exceed 3 cm. In a review of the literature from 1950 to date, only 18 aneurysms defined as "giant" were found in 15 reported papers.
CASE REPORT
A case of an 87-year-old man, successfully treated for a 7 cm wide aneurysm of the splenic artery is reported. Except for his age, the patient did not show any significant association with aneurysm-related diseases and was successfully submitted to en-bloc aneurysmectomy and splenectomy via open surgery.
