Summary

Spleen cysts are rare in the surgical practice. They may be primary or secondary. Primary cysts (true, with own lining) represent 30–40% of all cysts and occur mostly in children and young adults. Secondary cysts (pseudocysts, with no lining) are more frequent. Primary cysts are mostly asymptomatic and usually occur as accidental findings during ultrasound examinations. Cysts over 50 mm or cysts with clinical symptomatology should be managed surgicaly. Laparoscopy may be used. The authors present laparoscopic management of a spleen epidermoid cyst in a young female.

Key words:
epidermoid cyst – diagnostics – treatment – laparoscopy
