Splenic cyst hydatid: A case report
Abstract :
Hydatid cyst is the most common cause of parasitic cysts in spleen. Hydatid cysts may be isolated in spleen or as a part of disseminated echinoccosis. We report here a case of splenic hydatid cyst which we treated with splenectomy and autotransplantation. A seventeen year old female admitted to hospital complaining dull abdominal pain. Patient was diagnosed with primary splenic cyst hydatic and we performed splenectomy and autotransplantation. In conclusion, we recommend that cystic lesions of the spleen should be examined for hydatid cyst. Splenectomy and autotransplantation is useful for both treatment and for preservation of splenic functions.
