Hamartoma is a rare benign tumor of the spleen. It is often asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally.

She was diagnosed with splenic hamartoma histopathologically after splenectomy. Although splenic hamartoma is very rare, it must be included in the differential diagnosis of splenic mass-forming lesions.
