Abstract The spleen is the least common intra-abdominal site for the development of cystic disease. A lymphangioma of the spleen was first reported in 1885 by Fink; since that time 47 cases of lymphangioma or lymphangectasia have been reported. Up to now, no CT study has been published. This report concerns a case of cystic lymphangioma of the spleen consisting of a large splenic cyst with associated multiple small subcapsular cysts and lymphangectasia. The utility of CT in diagnosis is presented.
