Giant congenital infected splenic cyst: An interesting case report and review of the literature.

Splenic cysts are rare lesions. The congenital non-parasitic cysts of the spleen are rarely met in the clinical practice. Primary cysts have a cellular lining that can be caused by congenital events or parasitic infection (Echinococcus). Secondary cysts have no cellular lining and may be of hemorrhagic, serous, inflammatory, or degenerative origin. We report a rare case of congenital cyst of spleen in a child aged 10 years treated successfully by splenectomy because of total involvement of the splenic parenchyma along with involvement of hilum by the cyst, and we review the literature.
