Splenic cysts are differentiated into primary and secondary cysts based on epithelial lining. Primary non-parasitic epithelial splenic cysts are extremely rare. We report a case of a 24-year-old male with left hypochondrial swelling with no history of abdominal trauma.

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.

Introduction: While laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) has been widely used in benign splenic tumor, more concerns have been raised for postoperatively short-term and long-term complications. Laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS) is a surgical option, to preserve splenic function, and reduce postoperative complications. The aim of our study was to retrospectively identify the safety and feasibility of LPS compared with LS in patients with splenic benign tumor.

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.
