Splenic abscess is a rare clinical condition. We had two patients with splenic abscess treated from September 2002 to October 2004 at Ho Chi Minh City, University Medical Center. Symptoms included fever and abdominal pain of the left upper quadrant. Ultrasonography as initial investigation in both cases, followed by CT Scan in one, is necessary for the diagnosis. Splenectomy was the definitive therapeutic option with good results, and no complications and mortality.
