Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by sensu lato, the metacestode of a tapeworm parasite of high medical importance. Infection of the parasite leads to the development of echinococcal cysts, and the spleen is a rarely infected organ. A 46-year-old woman who was born and who resides in Sardinia, Italy, was referred to the Echinococcosis outpatient clinic at the University Hospital of Sassari (Sardinia, Italy) for a pain in the left flank.

Splenic lymphoma, particularly primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PS-DLBCL), is a rare malignancy that often presents with nonspecific symptoms, complicating diagnosis. This case report describes a 44-year-old female with left flank pain and nausea whose imaging studies, including ultrasound and CT, revealed a well-defined heterogeneous lesion in the spleen and left pleural effusion, initially suggesting a hydatid cyst. Despite negative serological tests for echinococcosis, clinical suspicion remained due to the endemic presence of the disease.
