Splenic cysts are relatively uncommon, and are usually asymptomatic. They are benign, typically treated conservatively and followed up with ultrasound examination, with few reported complications.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They can be either symptomatic, causing mainly abdominal pain, or asymptomatic, thus being diagnosed as in incidental finding during radiological examination for other clinical reasons: among these a raised serum level of CA 19-9 can be a case.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Splenic cysts are rare, many of which are asymptomatic and incidental finding. We report an interesting case of a large incidental splenic cyst in a young diabetic patient who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis and mimicking gastroparesis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chemical agents, such as alcohol or tetracycline, have been percutaneously injected into the cyst cavity after aspiration in an attempt to collapse the cyst wall, promote fibrosis, and prevent re-accumulation; however, recurrences were reported [ 7 ,[casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]
Visible portion of the collapsed cyst wall was excised and then the entire cyst wall was “peeled” from the splenic parenchyma to exclude the risk of recurrence ( fig. 4 ), with careful preservation of the remaining spleen tissue.[jpss.eu]

Percutaneous treatment of splenic cyst can obviate the need for partial or total splenectomy and may be an alternative to surgical treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
Laparoscopy has recently been demonstrated to be a useful alternative to open surgery for the surgical treatment of spleen disorders, and it can also facilitate a conservative approach for treatment of selected spleen lesions.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Eight weeks after this treatment, fluid discharge ceased. After 1 year, there was no findings of enlargement of the cyst.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment using splenectomy has the advantage of not presenting recurrence but carries the risk of immunological complications. Treatment through aspiration of the cyst or decapsulation preserves the spleen but with a high rate of recurrence.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]
The etiology of splenic cysts and treatment alternatives are discussed. A cyst-peritoneum window was performed successfully using minimally invasive techniques, with a short hospital stay and preservation of the spleen.[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]

Partial surgical splenectomy with resection of the entire cyst prevents recurrence and preserves splenic function.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the child, treatment of wandering spleen associated with a cyst should aim at the prevention of vascular accidents and at conservation of the spleen. We achieved these goals with unroofing and splenopexy through laparoscopic surgery.[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]
