Sumario:Cystic lesions of the spleen are rare lesions and can be parasitic or nonparasitic. Nonparasitic cysts are of two types: primary cysts and secondary pseudocysts. Primary cysts of the spleen are very rare and are also called true, congenital, epidermoid, or epithelial cysts. Splenic cysts are usually asymptomatic and often found incidentally during imaging studies. We are presenting a case of a 19-year-old female with a large splenic cyst which was surgically treated by open splenectomy.
