A CASE REPORT: SPLENIC EPIDERMOID CYST.
Abstract
We reported a splenic epidermoid cyst who underwent a total splenectomy. The ultrasonography and computed tomography scans are the imaging tools to establish the diagnosis by demonstrating a cystic lesion with occasional septations, wall trabeculation and internal contents. There is no specific imaging characteristic to distinguish between the true and false cyst. The certained diagnosis should be made by histological prove. Anyhow, when the splenic cyst is found, the patient should be treated owing to the risk of rupture, or on top infection.
