Microscopic Cyst Resection for the Treatment of Patients Diagnosed with Epididymal Cyst
Published on: March 31, 2023
A rare case or a huge asymptomatic splenic cyst
Aim:
Splenic cysts are rare benign lesions of the spleen, usually asymptomatic and incidentally discovered at imaging.
Material And Methods:
A case of huge epidermoid cyst of the spleen on a 16 years old female patient is presented. This case was symptomatic with fullness and palpable mass in the entire abdomen.
Results:
Initial evaluation with ultrasound and computed tomography established the diagnosis with the greater dimension of the cyst about 25cm. Because of the size and the relation with the hilum of the spleen, splenectomy was performed and any effort to rescue splenic parenchyma was impossible.
Discussion-Conclusions:
Many techniques are reported as treatment options, but the standard of care for nonparasitic splenic cysts is splenectomy.
Key Word:
Benign, Cyst, Epidermoid, Splenic.
