A case of splenic hamartoma is presented that was incidentally discovered in a 55-year-old male during a work-up to determine the aetiology of hypertension. Diagnostic imaging procedures were suggestive of a splenic hamartoma. Histologically, this was found to be of the pulposal type with haemosiderin and calcification foci and many eosinophil leukocytes. The patient had an uneventful recovery. A review of the pertinent references is included, together with a brief discussion about the occurrence of splenic hamartoma in the context of tuberous sclerosis.
