- Abstract
Splenic cysts are rarely detected, and clinically diagnosed commonly as spleenomegaly . The nature of the cyst could not be diagnosed pre-operatively because of its' anatomical location and only be confirmed by the histopathological assessments. These cysts are found as a sequel of splenic infarct followed by the abscess formation. This is a very rare condition of a minor boy of only 10 years' old who presented with a hugely enlarged spleen. The common investigation(s) did not prove that it was in the haematological conditions. Ultrasonogram (USG) investigation shows spleenomegaly due to the cystic lesion. CT scan of the abdomen showed large and well defined cystic mass which was 13.4cmX7.9cmX15.3cm in size, multi-loculated, septated, sharply demarcated as such well delineated cyst. After necessary preparation like vaccination, blood grouping, cross matching and other fitness, laparotomy and total spleenectomy was done as the cyst occupied most of the Splenic tissue. The post operative recovery was uneventful and the final diagnosis was confirmed by histopatholgical examinations as epidermoid cyst of the spleen. The patient was followed up for two consecutive months and not a single complication was noticed.
