LEON ALVAREZ, Jorge Luis et al. Giant splenic pseudocyst. Rev cubana med [online]. 2009, vol.48, n.2. ISSN 0034-7523.

This is the case of a female asymptomatic patient, in whom incidentally authors discovered the presence of splenomegalia from splenic cystic tumor; a splenectomy was carried out that from the histological point if view corresponding to a splenic pseudocyst. We conclude that in differential diagnosis of a splenomegalia, we must to consider splenic cystic and pseudocystic lesions. Partial or total splenomegalia is a efficacious therapeutical option allowing differentiation between cyst and splenic pseudocyst.
