Clinical examination of the patient showed a dense cystic mass in the left upper abdomen. Ultrasonography examination suspected a dermoid cyst. However, MRI examination of the abdomen showed turbid cystic lesions. The surgery revealed a splenic abscess, while pus and splenic tissue examination revealed no bacterial proliferation. Based on the literature, the patient had a good prognosis.
