Abdominal ultrasound showed a large splenic cyst of 15 cm containing homogenous internal debris (Fig. 1).
(a) Axial image of non-contrast CT abdomen shows the large splenic cyst with focal peripheral calcification in wall (White arrow), (b) contrast enhanced CT shows no peripheral enhancement, no floating membranes or enhancing solid component.

An abdominal computed tomography scan showed the same 15 cm splenic cyst with parietal calcifications, compressing the stomach, most likely of hydatid origin (Fig. 2a, b). Abdominal MRI showed unilocular splenic cyst hypo-intense T1, hyper-intense T2 (Fig. 3a, b).
Axial T1 post contrast MR image shows a non-enhancing cystic lesion (3a), Coronal T2 image shows a hyper-intense fluid signal intensity splenic lesion (3b).
