Abstract
Currently, there is a lack of reliable evidence on the management of splenic cysts, which are rare. Exploring the efficacy of laparoscopic partial splenectomy can aid in the accumulation of treatment-related evidence. Here, we report the case of a 31-year-old female who was diagnosed with a giant splenic cyst with elevated serum CA19-9 and subsequently underwent laparoscopic partial splenectomy. The effects of most treatment options for splenic cysts, including percutaneous aspiration and drainage, fenestration, and partial splenectomy, have not been confirmed by high-level evidence. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic partial splenectomy has drawn increasing attention. Additionally, the relationships between tumor markers and splenic cysts need to be further elucidated. Laparoscopic partial splenectomy might be recommended for patients with splenic cysts, especially when the cysts are not completely covered by the splenic parenchyma.
