“…Pseudocysts of the spleen mostly develop secondary to trauma although, sometimes they can be degeneration cysts arising from secondary changes (for example from arterial degeneration and occlusion resulting in infraction and necrosis of the parenchyma) or infectious associated with CMV infection or mononucleosis for example [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] . In addition, Fowler in his paper from 1913 states that 10 of the 66 cases of splenic cysts described were positive for malaria and two for syphilis [9] .…”

“…The majority of the splenic cysts are diagnosed incidentally during ultrasonography or computed tomography and are asymptomatic [13] . In larger cysts dull abdominal pain in the left hypochondrium and the left shoulder is the most common symptom [11] . Early satiety, nausea, vomiting, and breathing difficulties are often present as well [11] .…”

Introduction and importance Pseudocysts of the spleen are rare entities with cystic lesions of the spleen being uncommon in general. It is estimated that splenic cysts occur in about 0, 07% of the population 1 . In general, splenic cystic lesions are discovered incidentally or by mass effect. In the literature, only a limited number of splenic cysts are reported. We report a case of splenic pseudocyst with mass effect where we used laparoscopic fenestration of the pseudocyst with omentopexy as a treatment of choice. Case presentation The patient is a 62-year-old male with no previous history of trauma. He visited his GP for abdominal pain with flaring towards the left shoulder accompanied by early satiety, occasional obstipation, and breathing difficulties. He was referred to our hospital after enhanced computed tomography showed a 15 × 13 cm splenic cyst with displaced stomach and pancreatic tail medially and left kidney downward. Management options were discussed with the patient and he opted for a laparoscopic approach. In this case, we performed laparoscopic fenestration of the pseudocyst with omentopexy. Clinical discussion Until recently splenectomy was the surgical treatment of choice for all large or symptomatic cystic lesions of the spleen 2, however with growing knowledge about the protective role of the spleen an approach with spleen protection is advocated. Conclusion There are many advantages to the laparoscopic approach of splenic cystic lesions and it may be the treatment of choice for this uncommon surgical problem.

“…Cysts of the spleen are usually discovered incidentally by abdominal imaging. 8 Symptoms if appear correspond to the size and position of the cyst. Common presentations include left hypochondrial pain and discomfort due to splenomegaly and capsular stretch, nausea, and vomiting due to compression effect.…”

We present here a case of pseudocyst of spleen, a rare entity. In our case, the patient presented with pain abdomen since 5 to 6 months. She gave the history of abdominal trauma 2 years ago. Ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) of abdomen and pelvis showed a well-defined cyst arising in spleen. Open splenectomy was followed. Histopathology of the splenectomy specimen showed features of pseudocyst.
