  abstract = {The rarity of splenic hydatid disease may pose a diagnostic challenge for clinicians, especially in non endemic areas. Herein we report the case of a 65-year-old female presenting with moderate fever and heaviness in the left upper abdomen and found to have splenic hydatidosis. Oral albendazole therapy was applied at 10 mg/kg/day in two divided doses one month before surgery. Then splenectomy was performed. Postoperatively, the patient continued on oral albendazole for 6 months. One year later, the patient remains asymptomatic without any long-term complications observed during the follow-up.  },
