Abstract
Splenic cysts are extremely rare. We present the case of a young female child who presented with a massive splenic cyst arising from the lower pole of the spleen. We offered surgical intervention in view of persistent abdominal pain and the large size of the cyst, which was predisposing it to traumatic rupture and restricting the child’s normal activities. Cyst excision with splenic preservation was successfully achieved via a laparoscopic lower pole splenectomy. Histology confirmed a benign epidermoid cyst. The case presentation is followed by a brief review of literature.
