Isolated splenic hydatid cyst is a very rare manifestation of hydatid cyst. Rarely, patients present late after the cyst is ruptured. They might not present with usual presentations such as the acute abdomen, anaphylaxis, or urticarial rashes but only with a distended abdomen. Splenectomy is the emergency operative management.
