Abstract

|
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 abdomi-nal blunt trauma. Conversely, primary splenic cysts have epithelial lining and are subdivided into parasitic and non-para-sitic cyst. Non-parasitic primary splenic cyst is considered congenital and comprises about 10% of all splenic cysts. Total or partial splenectomy is the treatment of choice, but parasitic infection must be excluded prior to an operation. In this present report, we described a symptomatic, large primary non-parasitic splenic cyst, which was surgically treat-ed with partial splenectomy.
