Abstract

Splenic cysts are rare lesions and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Among splenic cysts epithelial cysts are still rarer. Symptoms can be due to enlargement, rupture, infection or hemorrhage. We report a case of a 35-year old woman who presented with left hypochondrial pain. Ultrasound and CT revealed cystic swelling arising from spleen. Cyst with spleen was removed and sent for histopathological examination which confirmed the diagnosis and ruled out the clinical diagnosis of hydatid cyst.
