Abstract
Abstract
Splenic cysts are relatively common and usually involve post-traumatic or infective aetiologies. The management of splenic cysts varies in its aetiology, symptomology and size. Surgical intervention is warranted for symptomatic, larger sized cysts > 5 cm and can involve spleen-preserving laparoscopic cyst fenestrations, marsupialization or potentially a splenectomy. In this case report, we review a rare case of an ectopic ovarian cystadenoma presenting as a large recurrent splenic cyst.
