The morphology and topography of the spleen of paca (Cuniculus paca) is described. Five adult pacas, male and female, were fixed with formaldehyde 10% and stored in 30% saline solution for preservation. The spleen of paca has the anatomical position related to stomach, liver, left kidney, pancreas and greater omentum.
