AI Article Synopsis
- False cysts lack a cellular lining and often arise from previous abdominal injuries; however, this case presents a 23-year-old woman with a splenic false cyst despite no history of trauma.
- Imaging techniques, such as CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound, revealed a cystic lesion with unusual internal structures, contradicting typical splenic false cyst characteristics.
- Though non-traumatic splenic false cysts are uncommon and exhibit vague clinical signs, the standard treatment approach is surgical removal of the spleen (splenectomy).
Article Abstract
False cysts have no cellular lining and usually originate from past abdominal trauma. We herein report a 23-year-old woman with an asymptomatic splenic false cyst. She had no history of abdominal trauma. Abdominal computed tomography showed a cystic lesion without internal structure. In contrast, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography revealed an inhomogeneous internal structure without fluid/debris level. Although the images were not typical of a splenic false cyst, the surgically excised mass histologically showed a splenic false cyst (no epithelial element). Non-traumatic splenic false cysts are rare and show nonspecific clinical findings and symptoms. The recommended treatment is splenectomy.
