True non-parasitic splenic cysts are uncommon, their real incidence is difficult to determine since over 30% are asymptomatic. Preoperatively these cysts are rarely diagnosed correctly and they are often findings on examinations. Partial or total splenectomy is the treatment of choice after ruling out splenic hydatidosis, since it is responsible for two thirds of global incidence. Currently, with the technological advances of surgery, especially of videolaparoscopy, some authors have proposed its use for partial cystectomy or splenectomy. The authors present the case of a true splenic cyst (epidermoid) which was resected videolaparoscopically and they discuss aspects of diagnosis and management.
