Int J Clin Pract. 2006 Oct;60(10):1317-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1742-1241.2005.00636.x.

Abstract

Splenic cysts are rare, many of which are asymptomatic and incidental finding. We report an interesting case of a large incidental splenic cyst in a young diabetic patient who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis and mimicking gastroparesis. The differential diagnosis and management of splenic cysts is discussed.
