True splenic cysts are rare, with only a handful of cases available in the English literature. We report a case of a true splenic cyst in a 28-year-old Nigerian female who presented with left upper abdominal pain and fullness. This was confirmed using ultrasound diagnosis and managed with splenectomy, pneumococcal vaccine, and prophylactic oral penicillin treatment. Histological diagnosis revealed a benign splenic cyst. This highlights the need to consider splenic cysts in the differential diagnosis of left upper abdominal pain and the need for further research on the management of patients with such rare disease entities.
