A member asked:

My sister is 8 months pregnant she has a septated cyst on her spleen with irregular borders that measusres 8 cm. it was 4.2 cm 5 years ago. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have sister tell MD: Your sister needs to inform her treating OB MD to be certain that the cyst has clear and not bloody fluid contained therein. The spleen is a very vascular organ and if it ruptures has fatal consequences.
