Abstract
- A 14-year-old female had a large, nontender abdominal mass on a routine sports physical examination. Following evaluation by ultrasound and computed tomography scan there was an initial attempt at drainage. The mass was subsequently removed. The diagnosis was epidermoid cyst of the spleen. In this report, we discuss the epidemiology and management of a splenic cyst, a rarely encountered diagnosis in adolescents, and emphasize the life-saving potential of the abdominal examination in sports medicine.
