Background
Splenic cystic lesions are rare. They are classified as type 1 with an epithelial component and type 2 (pseudocysts) without an epithelial component. Pseudocysts are the result of trauma, heart attacks, or infection. In Mexico there are no cases reported in pregnancy.

Undergoing open splenectomy in the second trimester of pregnancy with satisfactory evolution. Histological analysis demonstrated a splenic pseudocyst. We describe the first case of splenic pseudocyst in a pregnant patient in Mexico.
