Chronic Splenic Abscess as the First Manifestation of Pancreatic Tail Tumor.

Abstract

Pancreatic carcinoma is still associated with a poor survival due to the late presentation. Excluding head of pancreas tumor, manifestations are often vague resulting in delayed diagnosis. Manifestations as infective complications are rare, and in topic countries where infection remains common, diagnosis will be further delayed. We report a rare case of pancreatic tail carcinoma that manifested as chronic splenic abscess.
