Abstract
Purpose: Through our case report to discuss alternative surgical approach for splenic cyst management.
Introduction: Nonparasitic splenic cysts are rare, less than 1000 cases have been reported in the literature. Although surgical
management is the most practiced, no clear guidelines are available; techniques vary from simple partial cystectomy to total
splenectomy.
Methods: We report a case of 12 years old girl with incidental finding of huge nonparasitic splenic cystic mass.
Result: Laparoscopic cystectomy was performed in stage one leaving spleen intact, though high recurrence rate. Follow by
partial splenectomy in same admission with uneventful follow up. Histopathology show congenital cyst lesion.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic cystectomy ± partial splenectomy is safe technique compared to total splenectomy, though the
evidence of higher risk of recurrence.
