Description
Tasnuva Habib Neha, Mobin Ibne Mokbul, Farjana Yesmin, and Amrita Shrestha published a case report in 2026 on a large fluid-filled sac in the spleen that was not a true cyst. Such pseudocysts are rare, lack the lining of a real cyst, and announce themselves only through persistent pain in the upper left abdomen, where few clinicians think to look. Imaging made this patient's diagnosis.
Rather than removing the spleen, the surgeons drained and unroofed the sac through keyhole surgery. The symptoms resolved while the spleen, and its lifelong infection-fighting work, stayed in place. The report's lesson is twofold: keep the rare diagnosis on the list for stubborn left-sided pain, and prefer the spleen-sparing operation when it appears.
