This study reports two rare cases of primary spleen cysts, one epithelial and one endothelial, requiring splenectomy. These non-parasitic, non-traumatic splenic pathologies highlight the importance of surgical intervention for symptomatic cysts.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Pathology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Splenic cysts are uncommon, with primary cysts being particularly rare.
  • Non-parasitic splenic cysts can arise from various cellular origins within the spleen.

Observation:

  • Two distinct cases of primary splenic cysts were diagnosed.
  • One cyst was identified with an epithelial wall, the other with an endothelial wall.

Findings:

  • Both patients underwent splenectomy due to the rare splenic pathology.
  • The cysts were confirmed as primary, non-parasitic, and non-traumatic in origin.

Implications:

  • Splenectomy remains a viable treatment for symptomatic primary splenic cysts.
