Splenic cysts are very rare. They were traditionally treated by splenectomy. The recognition of post-splenectomy complications has led to emphasis on conservative techniques. We present a thirteen year old girl with epithelial splenic cyst treated by partial splenectomy. The post-operative CT scan after two weeks confirmed the residual splenic tissue.
