Splenic lymphangioma is a rare malformation of splenic lymphatic channels characterized by cysts resulting from increased number of enlarged thin-walled lymphatic vessels. In our case, there were no clinical manifestations. Lymphangioma was congenital and diagnosed by ultrasound as an accidental finding. Surgery is the only method of radical treatment of splenic lymphangioma. We describe an extremely rare case of pediatric isolated splenic lymphangioma and laparoscopic resection of spleen as the most advantageous variant of surgical treatment.
