Abstract

A 75-year old female underwent the examination of hematuria, and an abnormal calcification shadow was found in a plain abdominal roentgenogram. Splenic artery aneurysm with calcification was diagnosed by means of various imaging methods. Aneurysmectomy and splenectomy were performed. Her postoperative course was favorable. Splenic artery aneurysm shoule be suspected when an abnormal calcification shadow is found on a plain abdominal roentgenogram.
