A splenic cyst, within abdominal imaging, is a fluid-filled sac found on or within the spleen. These cysts are typically benign and can be congenital, post-traumatic, or inflammatory. Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for detecting and characterizing splenic cysts due to its non-invasive nature and ability to differentiate fluid from solid masses.
For accurate diagnosis and management, medical professionals rely on detailed ultrasound findings to assess size, internal echoes, and wall characteristics of splenic cysts. Understanding these features helps distinguish simple cysts from more complex lesions, guiding patient care in abdominal ultrasound.
