Abstract
Splenic cysts are rare lesions that can occur in parasitic and non-parasitic forms. Because they are uncommon, the classification, pathogenesis, and management techniques are still debated. The continual review of splenic cyst cases in the pediatric population is essential for establishing a clear diagnosis and course of treatment. This report presents 21 cases of pediatric splenic cysts observed at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta over an 18 year period (1993–2011). The cases include both parasitic and and nonparasitic cysts. The current splenic cyst classification and treatment methods are analyzed through a review of the current theories and based on our experiences.
