We are presenting a case of isolated hydatid cyst of spleen in a eleven year old male patient with complaints of pain in the left hypochondrium, dyspepsia and features of gastritis for the last 1 year. The diagnosis was confirmed by Contrast enhanced CT scan (CECT).Preservative surgical treatment was performed.
