Quiste Esplénico Gigante con Elevación del Ca 19-9 Reporte de un Caso

Abstract

The true cyst spleen are a poor known pathology, for these reason we report the case of a 21-year-old woman with a giant true spleen cyst (30 cm) with a high CA 19-9 serum level (1670 U/mL). The patient underwent splenectomy without complications and she has a successful postoperative course. The histopathological diagnosis was a true splenic cyst being these lesions very rare; approximately 30 cases of benign true splenic cysts with a high CA 19-9 serum level have been published in the literature.
