This case report details an incidentally discovered large splenic cyst requiring splenectomy. Anatomo-pathological findings confirmed a congenital etiology, aligning with typical presentations of splenic cysts.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Splenic cysts are rare pathologies with parasitic, congenital, or pseudo-cyst origins (often post-traumatic or post-infarction).
  • Surgical intervention for splenic cysts is indicated for large cysts (risk of rupture, hemorrhage, organ compression), symptomatic cysts, or complicated cysts.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with abdominal pain, leading to the incidental discovery of a splenic cyst during investigations.
  • The splenic cyst was large, necessitating surgical treatment.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent splenectomy for the large splenic cyst.
  • Post-operative anatomo-pathological examination revealed an epithelial inner wall, confirming a congenital splenic cyst.

Implications:
