Background: Splenic cysts are rare in children. They are classified into primary and secondary, also called pseudocysts. The primary feature capsule and can be congenital, vascular or neoclassical. The diagnosis, in most cases, is incidental because it is asymptomatic clinical status. The diagnosis is confirmed by Ultrasound and / or Computed Tomography (CT) of the abdomen. Case Report: Patient, I.T.S.A, female, 11 years old, complains of increasing abdominal size. The diagnosis of splenic cyst was confirmed with an exploratory laparotomy. The pathology suggests reactive mesothelial hyperplasia. The patient underwent a total splenectomy and recovered without complications. Conclusions: Splenic cysts are incidental findings, most of the times it has been an asymptomatic clinical status. In the clinical case described, the patient showed a significant increase in the abdomen. She underwent exploratory laparotomy and, consequently, total splenectomy, which is the standard treatment in cases of giants splenic cysts.
