title: A large splenic cyst mimicking diabetic gastroparesis.
abstract: Splenic cysts are rare, many of which are asymptomatic and incidental finding. We report an interesting case of a large incidental splenic cyst in a young diabetic patient who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis and mimicking gastroparesis. The differential diagnosis and management of splenic cysts is discussed.
