[Epidermoid cyst of the spleen in children. Apropos of 2 cases].
Two cases of epidermoid cyst of the spleen are reported. A splenectomy was necessary because the topography of the lesions was not consistent with a conservative procedure for this children fourteen and ten years old. The histological criteria and pathogenic hypotheses of this infrequent lesion are analysed. Ultrasonography and eventually computerized tomography bring the best findings concerning the topography and are useful for the surgical treatment. When it is possible, the partial conservation of the spleen is to be wished.
