Abstract: Splenic hematoma following acute pancreatitis is a rare complication that 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 a splenic hematoma. He responded well to conservative management and the hematoma was resolved.
