Splenic epithelial cyst (SEC) is the most common type of primary non-parasitic splenic cysts. Its pathogenesis is not yet clear. Splenic cysts are usually asymptomatic and are detected incidentally during imaging exams or an exploratory laparotomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our case is about a primary SEC discovered incidentally. An 18-year-old male patient without any personal and family medical history, presented with symptoms of upper urinary tract infection. Renal ultrasound was performed and found incidentally a solitary cystic lesion in the spleen. A laparoscopic partial splenectomy was made then. The specimen was sent for pathological examination and a diagnosis of primary (epidermoid) epithelial splenic cyst was given.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SEC is a rare pathology that could mimic other splenic cysts like hydatid cyst. The preoperative diagnosis of SEC can be suspected by ultrasonography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. However, histopathological examination is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis. A wide range of differential diagnoses is considered when we suspect clinically SEC because of its lower incidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Actually, spleen-preserving surgery with minimally invasive methods such as laparoscopy is the gold standard for the treatment of SEC despite the risk of recurrence encountered with these techniques. However, different surgical modalities are discussed depending on the size and the location of the cyst and the patient's age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2022.107201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,16]],"date-time":"2022-05-16T18:59:53Z","timestamp":1652727593000},"page":"107201","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Large splenic epithelial cyst"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"Seifeddine Ben","family":"Hammouda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samiha","family":"Mabrouk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahlem","family":"Bellalah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mezri","family":"Maatouk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdelfatteh","family":"Zakhama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leila","family":"Njim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-54-20260304","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"479","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mpdhp.2016.10.002","article-title":"A review of the cysts of the spleen","volume":"22","author":"Khan","year":"2016","journal-title":"Diagn.
