Without a recent trauma history, there is no clinical or radiological feature which distinguishes them from epidermoid cyst. Distinction may be made at histology. Surgical management of these symptomatic pseudocysts promotes spleen parenchyma preservation. We present here a case of a giant splenic pseudocyst in a young male patient except history of trauma. As the patient was 16 years old spleen preserving surgery was done and
