[Giant epidermoid splenic cyst].
Giant epidermoid splenic cysts are rare benign tumors. Their treatment is becoming increasingly less aggressive and more conservative. We report the case of a young woman with a giant epidermoid cyst, which required open total splenectomy, and review the literature on benign congenital tumors of the spleen.
