Popis: We report a case of a 12-years-old girl treated by percuta-neous injection of a splenic epithelial cyst. Indication was due to the gradual cyst's growth and pain in left hypocondrium. A percutaneous drainage under ultrasonographic view was performed with direct puncture technique, inserting a pigtail catheter into the cyst. After the total aspiration of the contrast, we injected sterile absolute alcohol for 20 minutes. Subsecuently, it was aspirated and the catheter was pulled-out. After a follow up period of more than 4 years, the cyst remains collapsed. There were no complications.
