Laparoscopic Management of Splenic Pseudocyst

ABSTRACT

Splenic cysts are rare entities. They are either true cysts or pseudocysts. Former is thought to be congenital or parasitic while the latter are considered post-traumatic. Developments in imaging and operative surgery have led to significant changes in the management of these cysts. We present a case of young male with a large splenic pseudocyst who was managed successfully by minimally invasive surgical approach. Pertinent literature is reviewed briefly.
