  • Title: Splenic cyst.
    Author: Pham DA, Duy AN.
    Journal: J Am Osteopath Assoc; 1992 May; 92(5):661-4. PubMed ID: 1601704.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a patient who had a benign, secondary splenic cyst definitively diagnosed preoperatively by use of a computed tomography scan. Because it was not possible to distinguish between a primary and secondary nonparasitic cyst preoperatively, the treatment of choice was elective splenectomy. This procedure allows confirmation of the clinical diagnosis and involves low morbidity and mortality.
