  • Title: Conservative surgery for benign non-parasitic splenic cysts.
    Author: Holland AJ, Ford WD, Bourne AJ.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 1997 Jul; 12(5-6):353-5. PubMed ID: 9244097.
    Abstract:
    Benign, non-parasitic splenic cysts are an uncommon cause of splenomegaly in children. Potentially they may enlarge, causing pain, rupture, or haemorrhage, or become infected. Traditional management has been total splenectomy. We report two cases of true epithelial-lined splenic cysts successfully treated by partial splenectomy using an oxidised cellulose gauze 'sandwich' technique.
