Peliosis is a condition characterized by the appearance of multiple cystic cavities filled with blood in the parenchyma of solid organs. Although the condition most commonly affects the liver, it can also affect the spleen, lungs, bone marrow, kidneys, and lymph nodes. The case reported here concerns a 56-year-old man with recurrent left hypochondrial pain radiating to the genital organs. After examinations, a splenic lesion of liquid density was detected, leading to splenectomy and confirmation of the diagnosis of isolated and diffuse splenic peliosis. Patients with isolated splenic peliosis may be asymptomatic or describe abdominal discomfort and are often diagnosed incidentally during abdominal imaging. This condition is rare and its origin is still unknown.
