PY - 2014 T2 - Operative Pediatric Surgery, 2e AB - Most abdominal cysts are asymptomatic and are discovered by prenatal imaging.Diagnosis is made by a combination of ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI.Large size (>5 cm), pain, and signs of intestinal obstruction are the most common indications for intervention.Treatment is aimed at complete excision of the cyst. When not possible, percutaneous drainage with sclerosis or marsupialization is a reasonable alternative.Overall prognosis is excellent except in the rare case of malignant lesions.
