  • Title: Epidermoid cyst of the spleen: case report.
    Author: El-Khoury EF, Souaiby MC, Aftimos GP.
    Journal: J Med Liban; 2009; 57(4):268-70. PubMed ID: 20027806.
    Abstract:
    Splenic cysts, very rare pathologies, are classified into parasitic and the highly uncommon, non parasitic cysts. Based on the presence or absence of an epithelial lining wall, the latters are classified into true cysts and false cysts. We present a case of a 23-year-old male who presented to our clinic with a several-month history of abdominal discomfort that was due to the compressive effect of a huge nonparasitic true splenic cyst.
