The mesothelial splenic cyst is a rare clinical entity, comprising <10% of all the primary splenic cysts. They usually present as a well-defined unilocular cystic lesion. We present a large multiloculated mesothelial splenic cyst in middle-aged women, which was radiologically indistinguishable from hydatid cyst. We discuss the importance of the clinical, radiological, and histopathological correlation in the diagnosis of this rare nonparasitic cyst of the spleen.
