Female patient, 50yo, in general check-up by ultrasound incidentally had been detected a mass 23.5x25.55mm nearby the hilus of her spleen. This cystic structure has Doppler signal inside with zinzang sign. Sonologist thought about a cystic form of  aneurysm of splenic artery.

MSCT at Medic confirmed a sacciform aneurysm of splenic artery with calcifications,

Operation was done to remove the spleen and aneurysm.

Splenic artery aneurysm occurs in approximately 0.1% of all adults. It is estimated that 6% to 10% of splenic artery aneurysms will rupture, and 25% to 40% of those ruptures will occur during pregnancy, especially during the third trimester. Risk factors for rupture include portal hypertension and pregnancy.
