[Hemorrhagic pseudocysts of the spleen].

After a short introduction regarding the physiopathology of secondary spleen cysts, the authors describe a personally observed case of voluminous hemorrhagic pseudocyst. They underline the rarity of the orientation towards radical surgery, having in mind the post-splenectomy risks determined by deficiency of important spleen functions. The authors, with respect to this, underline the importance of reimplanting splenic tissue fragment into omentum, promoting to use, in selected cases, this treatment that needs, however, further clinical findings.
