Splenic cysts are relatively uncommon entities in surgical practice and treatment options vary. We present a case of a young adult woman who presented with a left-sided abdominal mass. A large splenic cyst was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography. Laparoscopic partial excision with marsupialisation was performed with uneventful recovery and minimal blood loss. Histopathology revealed an epidermoid cyst of the spleen. This report describes the case, and includes a short review of the literature. Laparoscopic partial excision with marsupialisation is a safe and appropriate method of treatment for large splenic cysts.
