SummaryEpithelial splenic cysts are rare entities that surgeons might not have previously encountered and their management is based on historical studies.A 21-year-old female presented with a cyst of the spleen that produced a high serum concentration of carbohydrate antigen CA 19-9. A partial splenectomy with the removal of the entire cyst and preservation of splenic parenchyma by laparotomy was performed and the patient made an uneventful recovery. A microscopic rupture of the wall of the cyst and degradation of blood in the fluid of the cyst were confirmed. Eighteen months following surgery a functional splenic parenchyma was documented. There was no episode of infection during this follow-up time.Partial surgical splenectomy with resection of the entire cyst prevents recurrence and preserves splenic function. BACKGROUND

We present two patients with splenic cysts. The first is a female 29-years-old who presented with upper abdominal discomfort of one-year duration. Imaging revealed a huge splenic cyst. Splenectomy was undertaken. Pathological examination revealed a lymphatic cyst. The second was an 18-years-old female who presented to the emergency department with a ruptured splenic cyst. Splenectomy was undertaken, it proved to be a simple cyst.

“…Most benign, non-parasitic true (primary) cysts of the spleen are endothelial or epidermoid; mesothelial cysts are very uncommon (4,5). Mesothelial cysts have a trabeculated wall consisting of hyalinized connective tissue and a simple or stratified epithelial lining.…”

A 29-year-old female was admitted because of thrombocytopenia and an abdominal mass which was palpated 5 finger breadths below the left costal margin. A computed tomographic scan of the abdomen revealed splenomegaly with a large calcified cystic lesion. The spleen was removed and the pathological examination disclosed that the cyst was monolocular and the wall was of mesothelial origin. (Internal Medicine 32: 672-674, 1993)
