SLE and Spleen Cysts

Symptoms & Treatments
1

I have learned that I have new cysts on my spleen. While cysts on the spleen is not rare, they are usually congenital and present at birth. Mine are new. I have never heard of cysts on the spleen as a part of lupus or autoimmunity, but can’t help but wonder if my doctors are missing something.

Anybody else have cysts on their spleen?

Since you had no responses initially, Ellen, we have shared this discussion with all of the members. Did you get any answers?

Wish I had heard of spleen cysts but I haven't---only enlarged spleens which all the lupus books say is common in lupus patients. Just had to comment on your photo--what a pretty girl and handsome horse!
