Prenatal diagnosis and outcome of congenital splenic cyst: report of two cases

Prenat Diagn. 2006 Jan;26(1):9-10. doi: 10.1002/pd.1314.

Abstract

Congenital splenic cyst (CSC) is a rare condition, and only a few cases with prenatal diagnosis and no associated malformation have been reported. Spontaneous regression is possible in case of mild CSC (under 40 mm), but enlargement or secondary complications may lead to surgical treatment. We report, herein, two cases of isolated mild CSC with complete spontaneous postnatal regression.
