Research Article: Giant non-parasitic splenic cyst: a case report

Date Published: 2023-12-05

Abstract:
Splenic cysts are quite rare and asymptomatic. They may result from infection by a parasite, especially Echinococcus granulosus (hydatid cyst), or from non-parasitic causes. Since primary splenic cysts are not common, simple cysts can be misdiagnosed with a hydatid cyst in endemic areas.

Introduction:

Often asymptomatic and incidentally discovered through imaging studies, understanding the diverse etiologies, classifications, and appropriate treatment modalities for splenic cysts is crucial for informed medical practice [1].
