  • Title: Partial splenectomy for splenic cyst: a case report and literature review.
    Author: John AK, Das KV, Vaidyanathan S.
    Journal: Trop Gastroenterol; 2002; 23(3):148-9. PubMed ID: 12693162.
    Abstract:
    Splenic cysts are very rare. They were traditionally treated by splenectomy. The recognition of post-splenectomy complications has led to emphasis on conservative techniques. We present a thirteen year old girl with epithelial splenic cyst treated by partial splenectomy. The post-operative CT scan after two weeks confirmed the residual splenic tissue.
