Isolated involvement of spleen in tuberculosis is a rare entity, particularly among immunocompetent hosts. Herein, we present a 28-year-old man with left abdominal discomfort for 2 years who was found to have a cystic lesion in spleen on evaluation. Eventually, he was diagnosed to have isolated splenic tuberculosis with an involvement of a single lymph node at the splenic hilum. In this rare form of tuberculosis, it seems that splenectomy in addition to standard antitubercular therapy is curative.
脾脏孤立性结核受累是一种罕见情况，在免疫功能正常的宿主中尤为罕见。在此，我们报告一名28岁男性，有2年的左腹部不适，经评估发现脾脏有一个囊性病变。最终，他被诊断为孤立性脾结核，脾门处有一个淋巴结受累。在这种罕见的结核形式中，除标准抗结核治疗外，脾切除术似乎具有治愈作用。
