Primary splenic hydatid cyst is a rare entity even in endemic areas.
In most cases it presents asymptomatically being diagnosed by imaging findings. Treatment is multimodal and individualized, being surgical treatment the one that allows an integral solution of the disease.
Conventional surgery continues to be the "Gold standard" in its approach.
We present the case of a patient with this condition and the resolution approached by the surgical team.
