Conclusion
Non-parasitic splenic cysts can be asymptomatic or cause abdominal pain, and surgical treatment is effective for symptomatic cases.
Supporting Evidence
- Splenic cysts are rare and often discovered incidentally.
- The first case involved a large epithelial cyst treated with partial splenectomy.
- The second case involved multiple mesothelial cysts treated with total splenectomy.
Takeaway
This study talks about two patients with rare splenic cysts, one treated with partial surgery and the other with complete surgery, both of whom felt better afterward.
Methodology
The study presents two case reports detailing the clinical presentation, imaging findings, surgical interventions, and histopathological results.
Limitations
The study is based on only two case reports, limiting the generalizability of the findings.
Participant Demographics
One case involved a 14-year-old female and the other a 45-year-old male, both previously healthy.
