Splenic cystic lymphangioma in young adult patients is very rare and should be considered as a differential diagnosis of splenomegaly in malaria-endemic region. We report the case of a 24-year-old female who presented with a 28 cm left sided painless abdominal swelling of 7 years duration. Her physical examination revealed severe anaemia and a massive splenomegaly. An abdominal ultrasound scan was not conclusive. A splenectomy was performed and histopathological analysis led to the diagnosis of cystic splenic lymphangioma. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged from the hospital. Histopathological analysis of the resected specimen is the gold standard for definitive diagnosis in such cases.
