Abstract
Splenic cysts are rare. Most true (congenital) splenic cysts are epithelial in origin and have embryonic inclusion of epithelial cells from adjacent structures. Congenital spleen cysts are also called epidermoid or epithelial cysts. They form when there is an invagination of the mesothelium-lined splenic capsule during development. The lining is pluripotential and may undergo metaplastic changes and fluid accumulation with resultant cyst expansion. We present our own clinical case of the true spleen cysts in twins. Both patients did’t have any complains. In one of the twins, the lesion was up to 85.0 mm in diameter, localized in the spleen gates and squeezed the spleen vascular pedicle, which necessitated the surgical treatment. In the second twin, the cyst also localized in the spleen gates, however, it was of minor dimensions and, there was no growth at dynamic monitoring at the present time.
