Pseudocyst of Spleen Presenting as Acute Abdomen
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Depending on the etiology, splenic cysts are classified into parasitic or nonparasitic cysts. Nonparasitic cysts are further classified into true/real cysts and false cysts/pseudocysts based on the presence or absence of surface lining epithelium. In asymptomatic patients, these splenic cysts are usually diagnosed incidentally during radiological investigations for other susupected diseases. Majority of pseudo cysts develop secondary to trauma. Here we reported a case of ruptured pseudocyst of spleen presented in 21 year old female as acute abdomen. True non-parasitic splenic cysts are rarely observed clinically. Possibility of ruptured splenic cyst should be kept in differential diagnosis of patients presenting with acute abdomen. Keywords: Splenic cysts, epithelial cyst, pseudo cysts, traumatic cyst, acute abdomen.
