This report details two cases of epidermoid cysts in the spleen, a rare condition. Large splenic cysts pose a rupture risk, influencing treatment decisions towards spleen preservation techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Case Reports
  • Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Epidermoid cysts of the spleen are rare benign splenic lesions.
  • Fewer than 700 cases have been documented globally.
  • Splenic cysts can develop spontaneously but carry a risk of rupture, especially when large.

Observation:

  • Two distinct cases of splenic epidermoid cysts are presented.
  • A cyst diameter of 5 cm is proposed as a threshold for considering non-surgical management.
  • Historically, splenectomy was the primary surgical intervention for these cysts.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the shift from radical splenectomy to spleen-preserving techniques.
  • Spleen preservation methods include partial splenectomy, total cystectomy, and laparoscopic cyst decapsulation.

  • These minimally invasive approaches aim to mitigate the short and long-term complications associated with complete spleen removal.

    • Implications:

    • The findings support the adoption of spleen-preserving strategies for managing epidermoid cysts.
    • Minimally invasive techniques offer better patient outcomes by avoiding splenectomy complications.
    • Further research into optimal management guidelines for splenic cysts is warranted.
