GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cystic lymphangioma is the most frequent type and is characterised by a honeycomb of large and small thin-walled cysts containing lymph-like clear fluid. Because the lesions are cyst-like, their appearance on ultrasound, CT, and MRI is similar to and indistinguishable from that of cysts.

Detailed explanation-2: -The spleen is found in the left hypochondriac region of the abdomen (left upper quadrant). More precisely, the spleen is located posterior to the stomach and anterior to the left hemidiaphragm at the level of ribs 9-10.

Detailed explanation-3: -The diagnosis of splenic cysts is best established with CT imaging. Symptomatic splenic cysts have been considered as high-risk lesions for future automatic rupture, which explains why most authors include them in the indications for surgical treatment (either splenectomy or more conservative operations) [7]-[9].
