Splenic cysts in the differential diagnosis of suprarenal masses. 1978

J A Breslin, and B I Turner, and R K Rhamy, and R B Faber

Splenic cysts are uncommon and their preoperative diagnosis is suspected rarely from the clinical presentation. The urologist should be aware that on an excretory urogram these cysts appear as suprarenal masses, suggesting adrenal enlargement. Two recent cases are presented, with a discussion of their classification, incidence, diagnostic evaluation and therapy.
