Abstract

Nonparasitogenic cysts of the spleen are met rarely. They have no pathognomonic clinical picture and are characterized by prolonged asymptomatic course. Clinical manifestations can be found when cysts reach big size. Nonparasitogenic cysts of the spleen are dangerous because of possible following complications: supputaration, rupture, torsion of cyst formation and malignancy. The diagnosis of nonparasitogenic cysts of the spleen is complicated and the diagnostic mistakes comprise 70%.
