Splenic abscess is a rare disease whose diagnosis is difficult, though the use of modern imaging methods has increased diagnosed cases in recent years. We report a case of splenic abscess whose aetiology is unusual, namely, a gastric ulcer penetrating into the splenic artery and causing arterial thrombosis and septic embolism. Ultrasonography and ultrasound-guided puncture resolved any diagnostic doubt, and subsequent surgery confirmed the diagnosis. Pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostic methods, and treatment are discussed with reference to the literature.
