[Splenic cysts].
The authors describe a case of splenic cyst recently observed. After remembering the nomenclature and pathogenetic hypothesis, they consider clinical patterns and emphasize pathological findings, diagnostic aids, especially noninvasive imaging. Authors discuss why the cyst was probably hydatid one, although histologic examination did not show scolices, and believe that the treatment of choice is splenectomy.
