Abstract

An 11-year-old boy with a 16 × 14.5 cm congenital splenic cyst underwent laparoscopic upper-pole partial splenectomy after negative hydatid workup and vaccination. Recovery was uneventful; histology confirmed epithelial cyst. Spleen-preserving surgery provided durable symptom relief and preserved function.
