    Area of Science:

    • Surgical pathology
    • Abdominal imaging
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Benign non-parasitic splenic cysts are exceptionally rare splenic lesions.
    • Fewer than 700 cases have been documented in medical literature.

    Observation:

    • Diagnosis can be challenging due to the uncommon nature and vague clinical presentation of these cysts.
    • A high index of clinical suspicion is crucial for accurate and timely diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • The standard and most effective treatment involves surgical excision, specifically splenectomy with cystectomy.
    • This therapeutic approach yields excellent patient outcomes.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of splenic cysts is vital for effective management.
    • Surgical intervention ensures a favorable prognosis for patients with benign non-parasitic splenic cysts.
