Abstract

Large symptomatic splenic pseudocysts, though rare, should be considered in patients with persistent left upper abdominal pain as we report in our case. Imaging enables diagnosis, and laparoscopic spleen-preserving cyst decompression and deroofing provide a safe, effective treatment, relieving symptoms while maintaining splenic function and avoiding the morbidity associated with splenectomy and its long-term complications.
