AI Article Synopsis
- Non-parasite pseudocysts in the spleen are uncommon and usually linked to traumatic events.
- They can be distinguished from true cysts since they don't have a proper capsule surrounding them.
- An incidental finding of a spleen pseudocyst may have been connected to a pregnancy that occurred two years prior.
Article Abstract
Non-parasite pseudo cysts of the spleen are rarely observed and most often are related to trauma. They can be differentiated from true cysts due to the lack of a true capsule. We incidentally observed a pseudocyst of the spleen which may have been related to pregnancy two years earlier.

A Tale of Two Cysts: A Histopathological Case Report of Epithelial and Mesothelial Splenic Cysts.

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.

Splenic cysts, although rare, present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to their varied etiologies and clinical manifestations. This review synthesizes the current understanding of splenic cysts through an analysis of thirteen case reports spanning from 1988 to 2023. Etiologies include epithelial, parasitic, and sarcomatous origins.

Article Synopsis
- Heterotopic pancreas is a rare condition often misdiagnosed before surgery, commonly found in the upper gastrointestinal tract, but can also occur in unusual locations such as the thorax and kidneys.
- A case study highlighted a patient with intermittent abdominal pain and weight loss, leading to the discovery of a heterotopic pancreas during surgery after imaging indicated a suspicious growth in the duodenum.
- Challenges in diagnosis include the lesion's site and characteristics; while biopsies can help, they are often non-diagnostic, and the only definitive treatment is surgical resection.
Patient factors associated with embolization or splenectomy within 30 days of initiating surveillance for splenic trauma.

Background: Non-operative management of hemodynamically stable patients with splenic trauma has been recommended for more than 25 years, but in practice embolization and/or splenectomy (intervention) is often needed within the first 30 days. Identifying the risk factors associated with the need for intervention could support more individualized decision-making.
Methods: We used data from the SPLASH randomized clinical trial, a comparison of outcomes of surveillance or embolization.
Laparoscopic Duodenum and Spleen-Preserving Subtotal or Total Pancreatectomy: A Parenchyma-Sparing Strategy for Main Duct Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms (with Video).

Background: For premalignant main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (MD-IPMN), laparoscopic duodenum and spleen-preserving subtotal or total pancreatectomy (LDSP-STP/TP) seems to be a viable option for parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy.
Patients And Methods: On the basis of the imaging features, family history, genomic alterations, intraoperative ultrasound examination, and frozen section evaluation, we have proposed patient selection strategies for the LDSP-STP/TP technique for the first time. Additionally, a comprehensive step-by-step overview of this technique has been provided.
