[Dysontogenetic cysts of the spleen].
The classification of splenic cysts and the uncertainties surrounding this topic are discussed. Note is taken of the distinction between parasitic and non-parasitic cysts, special reference being made to dysontogenetic pictures presenting as dermoid and epidermoid cysts, associated with dermo-opidermal inclusions in the splenic tissue. The histological, clinical and diagnostic features of such cysts are explained and some opinions are put forward with respect to their treatment.
