Abstract:
Splenic cyst is clinically rare.It can be classified as either true or false.Ultrasound,CT and MRI scan are helpful in diagnosing splenic cyst.Indication for a treatment depends mainly on clinical symptoms and diameter of the cyst.Now,there is a more conservative attitude on splenic surgery and the patient should be offered laparoscopic approach.Both nonoperatively treated patients and surgically treated patients should be given ultrasound examination regularly,in order to check the cyst size and exclude reappearance.
