N2  - Splenic cysts are seen rarely in surgical practice and most of them are parasitic cysts (hydatid cyst). Non-parasitic cysts are classifi ed as true and false cysts (pseudocyst). Pseudocysts are usually secondary to trauma or hemorrhage of spleen. They are believed to be the fi nal stage of organization of an intra-splenic hematoma and are hardly differentiated from hydatid cyst preoperatively. Surgery is the treatment of choice in symptomatic cysts, particularly with a diameter of larger than 5 cm. In this paper, we present a 12 cm splenic cyst of a 32-year-old male. Pathological examination after total splenectomy via laparotomy revealed splenic pseudocyst. However, the medical history of the patient was unremarkable and there wasn’t any history of trauma.
