Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Splenic cysts are uncommon findings whose treatment is usually surgical if more than five centimeters.
Case Report: A case of a self resolving symptomatic large non parasitic splenic cyst is reported. Conclusion: Even if general guidelines prescribe a surgical treatment for >5 cm splenic cyst, sometimes a wait-and-see strategy could be adopted, with the consent of the patient and keeping an eye on his/her general conditions. | |
