A rare case of non-parasitic cyst of endothelial type, recently observed in the spleen, is illustrated. The relevant literature is reviewed, Fowler's classification stressed, and the aetiopathogenetic and histopathological characteristics of such cysts are discussed in critical spirit. The diagnostic means are also fully described. With stress on the utility of the scintiscanning examination.

Splenic cysts are rare medical conditions, and their incidence is dominated by parasitic types. Non-parasitic splenic cysts, whether true cysts (with a cellular lining of the cystic wall) or pseudocysts (without a cellular lining), are significantly rarer than parasitic ones. Their etiology is not fully established, with fetal remnant development, metaplasia, and mesothelial invagination being widely accepted possible mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- Epidermoid splenic cysts are rare benign tumors in children, making up 10% of all splenic cystic lesions, typically discovered incidentally or during imaging for other abdominal issues.
- Laparoscopic partial splenectomy has gained popularity over total splenectomy as it preserves spleen function and reduces infection risk, although it requires a skilled surgical team due to bleeding risks.
- A study reported three cases of successful laparoscopic partial splenectomy in children, with no complications or recurrences during a mean follow-up of 21 months, despite varying operating times and intraoperative blood loss.

Splenic cysts are uncommon and classified into parasitic and non-parasitic origins. Non-parasitic cysts are further categorised into primary and secondary forms; primary cysts develop congenitally and progress into adulthood and secondary cysts result from factors such as abdominal trauma, infection or ischemia. This case series presents three instances of splenic cysts in children.

Tumor markers such as carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) are generally useful in ruling out malignancy of hepatic cysts. The patient was a 72-year-old man who had a ruptured liver cyst in the right liver, which had been noted since he was 67 years old at another hospital. The initial laboratory tests demonstrated elevated CA19-9 (193 784.
