“…Other hypotheses explaining the genesis of primary splenic epithelial cysts include epithelial cell metaplasia from adjacent structures or vascular endothelium from peritoneal inclusions and embryonic inclusion of epithelial cells from adjacent structures. 9 Although common in children and young adults, mesothelial cysts are rare in older people. 4 However, in this current case, the mesothelial cyst was observed in a 66-year-old woman and it was suspected that the increase in the size of the splenic lesion was due to fluid accumulation within a late activated mesothelial cyst.…”

Mesothelial cyst of the spleen mimicking a metastasis: a case report

et al. 2021

Mesothelial cyst of the spleen is a developmental disorder. Previous reports have elaborated on the radiological features of splenic mesothelial cysts as being unilocular with a smooth and well-defined margin. However, due to its rarity, it is unclear whether these characteristics are representative and specific for the diagnosis of mesothelial cysts. Herein, this case report presents an atypical case of splenic mesothelial cyst mimicking a malignant tumour, especially splenic metastasis in a 66-year-old woman with ascending colon cancer. Due to an overlapping imaging finding of hypodense splenic lesions, and considering the clinical history, a mesothelial cyst that developed as a multilocular hypodense mass from an ill-defined small nodule was inevitably misdiagnosed as metastasis. Although rare, it is important to consider the possibility of mesothelial cyst in a patient with multilocular hypodense lesions of the spleen.

“…Malignant potential is unknown; however, there is a report of squamous cell carcinoma arising in an epithelioid cyst within the spleen. 6 Epithelial cysts in IPAS is rare with half of these reported incidentally detected. Zavras et al reviewed 36 patients and found the mean age of patients to be 46 years and slightly over half were female.…”

Intrapancreatic Accessory Spleen Masquerading as a Pancreatic Mucinous Neoplasm

AbstractIncidentally discovered pancreatic cysts have become more common with increasing use of abdominal cross-sectional imaging. Tools that help us to better risk stratify a pancreatic cyst include advanced imaging techniques, such as pancreatic protocol computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with cholangiopancreatography. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) are invasive measures to better define and sample cysts especially if high-risk features are present. EUS may also yield pancreatic cyst fluid for analysis of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) which is elevated in mucinous cysts. This case highlights a rare finding of a mucinous, epidermoid cyst in an intrapancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS) with high-risk features on EUS.

Epithelial cyst of the spleen

Abstract: This is a report of a case of epithelial cyst of the spleen in an 8-year-old boy. The cyst showed squamous metaplasia on histology. The risk of malignant transformation is discussed.
