BACKGROUND/AIM Primary splenic cysts are relatively uncommon and in the majority of cases are classified as epithelial cysts which are more frequent in young patients. Most of them are asymptomatic, and they are found incidentally during imaging techniques or laparotomy. We report two rare cases of patients with epithelial splenic cysts as an incidental finding during emergency laparotomy for s...

BACKGROUND Splenic cysts are known as rare clinical encounter. Classifying into primary (true) and secondary cysts (pseudocysts), true cysts contain cellular epithelial lining and subdivided into parasitic and non-parasitic cysts. This study aimed to determine the outcome of treatment in patients with splenic cyst. METHODS All patients with splenic cyst who had been treated in Department of G...

Splenic Hydatid Cyst is a very rare presentation with less than 5% of total incidences Cystic Echinococcosis. It usually due to spread cysts from other regions leading secondaries. Primary isolated splenic hydatid cyst without involvement any organs even rarer. We report an unusual case female who presented as Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) incidental finding Isolated absence organ. Patient un...

Splenic cysts are rare, especially in western countries. Worldwide, parasitic splenic cysts are more frequently encountered with Echinococcus granulosa being the most commonly implicated species.' The mode of presentation varies according to age group. In children, intermittent colicky abdominal pain in the left hypochondrium with a tender palpable mass is usually the way splenic cysts present....

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection characterized by cyst formation in any organ, although the liver and lungs are most commonly involved. Hydatid disease of the spleen is uncommon, representing <8% of all human hydatid diseases. Splenic hydatid cysts usually coexist with liver hydatid cysts (secondary form), although the spleen is the primary location (primary form) in some cases. The cli...

Cystic disease of the spleen is a relatively rare disease. It is classified either as a true primary cyst or as a secondary pseudocyst. Most splenic cysts are pseudocysts, which have non-epithelial lining, and are caused by previous abdominal blunt trauma. Conversely, primary splenic cysts have epithelial lining and are subdivided into parasitic and non-parasitic cyst. Non-parasitic primary spl...

True nonparasitic splenic cysts are rare. Reports of approximately 30 cases of benign true splenic cysts producing elevated CA 19-9 serum levels have been published. The traditional treatment of splenic epidermoid cysts is splenectomy. However, with all the advances in laparoscopic surgery, conservative laparoscopic approaches are accepted as the most preferred techniques for this benign diseas...

Splenic cysts are rare clinical entities, reportedly occurring in only 0.5%–2.0% of the population. The first splenic cyst was reported in 1829 by Andral, and with the increasing use of diagnostic imaging, splenic cysts are now more commonly being diagnosed incidentally. We report the case of a splenic cyst in an 18-year-old man who initially presented to a remote nursing station in Labrador wi...
