Epithelial splenic cysts are uncommon lesions which occur in the spleen. The aetiopathogenesis of these cysts is not clear. We are reporting a case of an epithelial cyst which occurred in the spleen in a 40-year-old female, which was multiloculated and which had flattened lining epithelium. Some foci showed squamous metaplasia.
