Abstract

Splenic cyst is a rare occurrence especially in paediatric age group, hence challenging to treat. It is usually diagnosed incidentally while doing scans for other abdominal complaints. We report a minimally invasive approach of treating a large splenic cyst with review of the literature.

A teenage boy presented to the emergency room who complained of pain in the left upper quadrant of abdomen of 2 days duration, with a history of blunt abdominal trauma 2 years back. Clinical examination and relevant radiologic investigations were done for the proper diagnosis.

Patient underwent laparoscopic deroofing of the large splenic cyst followed by omental pedicle insertion. Histopathological exam showed presence of an epithelial cyst.

Keywords:

splenic cyst, epithelial cyst, laparoscopic deroofing, minimal invasive.
