Total Splenectomy due to an Unexpected “Complication” after Successful Extended Laparoscopic Partial Decapsulation of a Giant Epidermoid Splenic Cyst: A Case Report
Figure 2
(a)–(d) Preoperative abdominal CT, (a) axial (b) and coronal (c) T2 weighted MRI shows a giant rounded cystic mass anterior to the spleen, which is significantly displaced posteriorly. Axial T1 weighted fat saturated MRI postgadolinium administration shows a thin peripheral enhancement of the splenic mass—possibly representing a capsule—and no internal enhancement consistent with its cystic nature (d).
