[Organ preserving operation in large epidermoid cyst of the spleen (author's transl)].
A 10-year-old girl was operated because of an epidermoid cyst of the spleen weighing 2 kilograms. The cyst was enucleated and the spleen reconstructed. This procedure is seen as the operation of choice as the development of post-splenectomy sepsis can thus be prevented.
