A 76-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a giant splenic artery aneurysm (58 mm in diameter) which happened to be detected by an abdominal computed tomography scan. The aneurysm was fusiform and located at the middle third of the splenic artery. We performed laparotomy and interposed auto saphenous vein between the proximal and distal splenic arteries. Later, mural thrombus was removed after opening the aneurysm. Postoperative course was fair with no complication. Histological examination on the wall of the aneurysm showed sclerotic changes.
