Abstract:
A case of a benign noninfectious cyst is reported. Splenic cysts are uncommon. They are diagnosed by ultrasonography, computer tomography, and nuclear magnetic resonance. The cysts are either infectious (e.g. parasitic) or noninfectious (e.g. posttraumatic). The cystic content should be analysed for bacteria, parasites, and amylase. Noninfectious cysts larger than four cm and/or symptomatic cysts should be treated surgically with laparoscopic decapsulation.
