Background:

  • Splenic cysts encompass diverse etiologies, with epithelial and traumatic origins being most common in Central Europe.
  • Increased ultrasound use has led to a reported incidence of splenic cysts around 1% of the population.
  • While often asymptomatic, large splenic cysts can present with nonspecific abdominal pain and organ displacement, potentially impairing organ function.
