     Pediatric Radiology CasesHistory:

    The first presentation of the then 9 year-old girl was based upon unspecific lower abdominal pain. Chance findings in the routine sonographic examination. Initially, the findings were just watched, with follow-ups every quarter year. As the findings were found to increase in size at the age of 13, ultrasound aspiration was done and a short-term drainage was performed. An instillation of a locally acting substance was performed. In the follow-up examination, the structures decreased in size. After 6 months, however, a renewed increase in size was noted and a renewed aspiration was performed. Since the pathological findings remained, a surgical treatment was performed.

     Pediatric Radiology CasesWhich DD would be also possible with the radiological findings:

    Posttraumatic splenic cyst, dermoid cyst, cystic hemangioma, parasitic cyst  

     
     Pediatric Radiology CasesCourse / Prognosis / Frequency / Other :

    After the initially performed aspiration without success, the surgical treatment and resection of the splenic lymphangioma was opted. A sufficiently large splenic rest could be saved.
    All in all, a splenic lymphangioma is a very seldom illness. Aside from the casuistics in children, isolated splenic lymphangiomas are described mostly in adults. A lymphangiomatosis, which is described often in literature, could not be found in our patient.  

     
     Pediatric Radiology CasesComments of the author about the case:

    In the experience we gathered in this case, the multicystic changes of the spleen could no longer be treated with aspiration-instillation. This is usually shown to be helpful in solitary splenic cysts.
    In childhood, we feel that the resection with saving the spleen was the method of choice.
