{Abstract}: Splenic abscess is a rare condition that generally results from hematogenous spread and affects individuals with hemoglobinopathies or immunocompromising conditions. Although optimal management has recently been under contention, this condition was traditionally managed with splenectomy. We present a rare case of a 58-year-old male with chronic pancreatitis that developed a splenic abscess via a contiguous spread of a pancreatic pseudocyst. His condition was complicated by septic shock. The splenic abscess was managed with antibiotics, image-guided percutaneous drainage, and notably without surgical intervention.
