  • Splenomegaly

    A computed tomographic scan of the abdomen revealed splenomegaly with a large calcified cystic lesion. The spleen was removed and the pathological examination disclosed that the cyst was monolocular and the wall was of mesothelial origin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    He also presents very interesting tips and tricks in case of splenomegaly. [websurg.com]

    Other causes of splenomegaly may be ruled out based on history and clinical examination. Based on this, appropriate investigations may be ordered. [epainassist.com]

    The clinical presentation can vary ranging from being incidentally discovered on routine imaging to having nausea, vomiting, vague abdominal pain or rarely painful splenomegaly, particularly when the cysts are large. They are congenital in origin. [radiopaedia.org]

    Differential diagnosis of left upper quadrant lump includes splenomegaly, infectious mononucleosis, hydatid cyst, lymphangioma, hemangioma, splenic abscess, chronic leukemias [12]. [casereports.in]

  • Persistent Cough

    Other symptoms that may progressively appear are those that present as a result of pressure on the neighboring organs and may include distension, early satiety, vomiting, flatulence, persistent cough due to irritation of the diaphragm, pleuritic pain [academic.oup.com]

    Moreover, effects on the cardiorespiratory system may lead to pleuritic pain, dyspnea and persistent cough [6]. Life-threating complications such as infection and hemorrhage have been rarely reported [7]. [file.scirp.org]

    They presented with abdominal pain, fever, and non-bilious vomiting. In both cases the cyst was diagnosed by means of computer tomography and ultrasonography. One of the patients was successfully treated with partial splenectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Abdominal Mass

    Focus is placed on the diagnostic evaluation of large cystic abdominal masses. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Abdominal Fullness

    An 18-year-old woman was admitted with abdominal fullness. CT scans and MRI images of the upper abdomen revealed a cystic mass having a diameter of 19 cm. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    We present here a 23-year-old female who came to the clinic with symptoms of abdominal fullness, early satiety and left flank pain which was diagnosed as a large splenic cyst after radiology confirmation. [academic.oup.com]

    Case Report A seven year old male child presented with several month history of abdominal pain and upper abdominal fullness. There was no associated history of fever, vomiting, hematemesis, malena, jaundice or animal contact. [casereports.in]

    Splenic cysts are generally uncommon findings which tend to present with a variety of nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal fullness, generalized pain, shortness of breath and back pain. [1] [2] [3] Incidence in Europe recently went up to 1% due to the [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

    Case report A 27-year-old African American man came to our hospital because of mild abdominal discomfort and progressive abdominal fullness, which had started 3 weeks earlier. [mdmag.com]

  • Bilious Vomiting

    They presented with abdominal pain, fever, and non-bilious vomiting. In both cases the cyst was diagnosed by means of computer tomography and ultrasonography. One of the patients was successfully treated with partial splenectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Abdominal Mass in the Left Lower Quadrant

    A 14-year-old girl presented a mobile 10-cm-long abdominal mass in the left lower quadrant associated with mild abdominal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Withdrawn

    Once mobilized, aspiration was carried which allowed over 2 L of serous fluid to be withdrawn and aiding in further dissection with ease (Fig. 3 ). [academic.oup.com]

The aim of the present study is to present the case of an asymptomatic epidermoid splenic cyst associated with a continuous increase of CA 19-9 and to describe the applied clinical workup and surgical management by laparoscopic total splenectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Left lower rib fracture is present in 44% of patients with splenic rupture and necessitates further workup by abdominal CT. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Mediastinal Shift

    Radiological examination X-ray chest: normal lung fields, no pleural effusion, no hemopnemothorax, no fracture ribs, no mediastinal shift. Ultrasonography of abdomen: revealed a cystic collection juxtaposed to the spleen. [medcraveonline.com]

  • Entamoeba Histolytica

    Echinococcus and Entamoeba histolytica serologies were negative. Laparoscopic exploration was performed. Four liters of brown fluid were aspirated and intraoperative cytology confirmed a nonparasitic cyst. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Serologic testing for Echinococcus and Entamoeba histolytica were negative. Surgery was recommended because of the patient’s symptoms and the size and recurrent nature of the cyst. [mdmag.com]

One year after treatment the cyst has practically disappeared. We believe that treatment of splenic cyst with percutaneous puncture, ethanolization, and drainage is a valid option and it does not rule out surgery if the conservative treatment fails. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

MRI Well-defined cystic lesions with internal homogeneous fluid signal intensity: T1: low signal intensity T2: very high signal intensity Treatment and prognosis Small and asymptomatic cysts do not require treatment or followup. [radiopaedia.org]

Splenic cysts represent a pathology seldom encountered in practice, the most often etiology being, parasitic, congenital and pseudo-cysts, which usually appear post-traumatically or after a splenic infarction.Splenic cysts indicate a surgical treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We also discuss the etiology, classification, diagnosis, and management options for this uncommon disorder of the spleen. [mdmag.com]

In practice, both primary and secondary cysts are often described simply as "splenic cyst" for the sake of simplicity, as often the specific etiology is not evident. [radiopaedia.org]

Splenic cysts are classified as primary (true cyst ), which include parasitic and non parasitic cysts, and as secondary (pseudo cyst) according to their etiology and pathophysiology. 1, 2 True cysts have an epithelial or mesothelial lining, on the other [medcraveonline.com]

Partial surgical splenectomy with resection of the entire cyst prevents recurrence and preserves splenic function. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The epidermoid cysts have an epidermal lining, and prevention of recurrence is dependent on complete resection of the cyst wall preserving, whenever possible, the splenic tissue. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]
