    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Splenic cysts are uncommon intra-abdominal lesions.
    • True splenic cysts arise from developmental anomalies or post-traumatic events.
    • Differentiating true cysts from pseudocysts is crucial for management.

    Observation:

    • A case of a significantly large true splenic cyst is presented.
    • The cyst's dimensions were documented through comprehensive imaging.
    • This finding prompted a detailed review of existing medical literature.

    Findings:

    • The presented splenic cyst is the largest true splenic cyst documented in medical literature.
    • This case highlights the potential for extreme size variations in splenic cysts.
    • The pathological characteristics confirmed its nature as a true cyst.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of splenic cyst presentations.
    • It underscores the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation for large abdominal masses.
    • Further research may elucidate factors contributing to extreme splenic cyst growth.
