Splenic hematoma following an acute pancreatitis is a rare complication
which is thought to be due to the distribution of pancreatic exudates to
the spleen. We presented a case of a 44-year-old patient with acute
pancreatitis who developed splenic hematoma. He responded well to
conservative management and the hematoma resolved.
