Primary splenic epidermoid cysts are rare and often underestimated. This case highlights diagnostic challenges and the efficacy of open splenectomy for suppurative complications.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Surgical Case Report

Background:

  • Primary splenic cysts are rare congenital anomalies, often overlooked due to their infrequent occurrence.
  • Suppurative complications of splenic cysts can mimic splenic abscesses, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A case of a suppurated epidermoid cyst of the spleen presented as an emergency.
  • Clinical presentation complicated differential diagnosis with splenic abscess.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was achieved through standard X-ray, computed tomography, and ultrasound.
  • Open splenectomy was performed due to alarming clinical symptoms and potential deterioration.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare splenic pathologies, even in emergency settings.
