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.

Case report

26-year-old woman, pregnant, asymptomatic. With a spleen-dependent cystic intraparenchymal lesion measuring 25 × 18 × 10 cm. 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.
