Abstract

Key clinical messageWe reported a unique case in which the patient developed splenic hematoma following acute pancreatitis, the condition responded well to conservative management without any surgical intervention.AbstractSplenic 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.
