A young adult in her third decade presented with a 2-week history of catching left upper abdominal pain and was detected to have a cystic lesion occupying almost the entire spleen. Laparoscopic total splenectomy was carried out, and the cyst wall revealed a true mesothelial cyst with no squamous metaplasia. The various aspects of mesothelial cysts, including immunophenotyping and treatment modalities, are briefly discussed.
