| Abstract: | Splenic cysts are rare lesions. The congenital non-parasitic cysts of the spleen are rarely met in the clinical practice.
Primary cysts have a cellular lining that can be caused by congenital events or parasitic infection (Echinococcus). Secondary
cysts have no cellular lining and may be of hemorrhagic, serous, inflammatory, or degenerative origin. We report a rare case
of congenital cyst of spleen in a child aged 10 years treated successfully by splenectomy because of total involvement of
the splenic parenchyma along with involvement of hilum by the cyst, and we review the literature. |
