A member asked:
Does a calcified splenic cyst that is 3.8 cm big require removal of the spleen or can it be drained?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calcified means it has been there for a while, and it is unlikely to be the reason to have your spleen removed. It means they may try to find the cause and also the cause of whatever symptoms you have that prompted the cyst to be seen.
