Congenital splenic cysts are rare in children, often discovered incidentally. This study found these splenic cysts had a benign clinical course, with surgical intervention reserved for very large cysts.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Splenic cysts are uncommon in pediatric populations.
  • Incidental findings of splenic cysts necessitate evaluation for origin and management.
  • Congenital splenic cysts are rare and require differentiation from other splenic lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on incidentally found splenic cysts in children.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic methods and clinical course of pediatric splenic cysts.
  • To determine the origin and management of splenic cysts in pediatric patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of eight pediatric cases with splenic cysts diagnosed between 1987-1995.
  • Utilized ultrasonography, computerized tomography (CT), and radionuclide scanning for diagnosis.

  • Pathological examination of surgically resected cysts to determine origin.

    • Main Results:

    • Eight pediatric patients (5 male, 3 female) aged 8-15 years were diagnosed with splenic cysts.
    • Cyst sizes ranged from 2 cm to 14 cm; four large cysts (>10 cm) required surgical intervention (partial or total splenectomy).
    • Pathological analysis confirmed all cysts were congenital, with epithelial cell lining; remaining cases showed a benign clinical course.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital splenic cysts are rare in children and typically present with a benign clinical course.
    • Diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in identifying and characterizing splenic cysts.
    • Surgical intervention for splenic cysts is generally reserved for large or symptomatic cases.
