Abstract:
Splenic epidermoid cysts are rare lesions traditionally treated by splenectomy. Concerns about overwhelming postsplenectomy sepsis have led to the development of splenic preservation procedures in the treatment of cystic diseases of the spleen. We present the first case report of successful laparoscopic complete excision of a splenic epidermoid cyst.
