  • Title: Traumatic splenic cyst: radiologic-pathologic correlation from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.
    Author: Faer MJ, Lynch RD, Lichtenstein JE, Madewell JE, Feigin DS.
    Journal: Radiology; 1980 Feb; 134(2):371-6. PubMed ID: 7352216.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic splenic cyst is one of many diagnostic choices when a mass is found in the left upper quadrant. In the appropriate clinical setting, demonstration of an intrasplenic, unilocular, avascular, homogeneous, fluid-filled mass with a smooth, sharply marginated wall should suggest a splenic cyst. On pathological examination, an epithelial lining implies a developmental origin. More commonly, no such lining is found and old trauma is assumed to be the etiology.
