Splenic cysts are rarely observed in young patients. We report three cases of splenic cysts. The management and the surgical procedure, if needed, are discussed.

This treatment would be performed by laparoscopic approach and is intended to spare splenic tissue as much as possible. A prophylactic anti-pneumococcal vaccination is recommended before surgical treatment.
