Description
George Stoyanov and co-authors report two cases of splenic cysts in a 2024 pathology paper. Splenic cysts are rare, and most are parasitic in origin. Non-parasitic cysts are far rarer and may arise from fetal remnants, metaplasia, or mesothelial folding.
Small cysts often cause no symptoms and are found by chance on scans. Larger or multiple cysts tend to cause dull abdominal pain or discomfort. One case here involves a teenage girl with a month of dull pain and a large cyst seen on computed tomography. Tissue study then separated an epithelial cyst from a mesothelial one. The contrast helps doctors classify cysts that look alike on imaging.
