Abstract:

Splenic cysts are considerably rare findings, and if present they are mostly asymptomatic. However, if symptoms present, they may include epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distention relative to the size of the cyst. Splenic cysts are classified as either primary (parasitic or non-parasitic) or secondary (traumatic/pseudocyst). Herein we present a case of a 17-year-old male patient who presented to our emergency department with an acute abdomen. Investigated and planned for urgent exploratory laparotomy with interesting intraoperative findings. A quick literature review was done, and a conclusion was made.

Keywords:

Splenic cyst; Abdominal pain; Rupture; Trauma; Laparotomy
