True non-parasitic splenic cysts are a rare pathology represented by some 800 cases recorded worldwide. The method of choice for the treatment of this condition is surgical intervention. To-day, open surgery is substituted by low-invasive methods, such as laparoscopic splenectomy. A clinical case is described illustrating approaches to diagnostics and stages of surgical management of this pathology.
