Abstract:
Splenic cysts are uncommon. The symptoms are usually vague, but complications such as haemorrhage, rupture and infection may occur. The majority of splenic cysts are seen in children and young adults. Surgical treatment is recommended and splenic preservation is advantageous. We present two patients with splenic cysts successfully treated with laparoscopic resection of the cyst wall.
