  • Title: A case of epidermoid cyst in an intrapancreatic accessory spleen mimicking pancreas neoplasms: MRI with DWI.
    Author: Kwak MK, Lee NK, Kim S, Han GJ, Seo HI, Park DY, Lee SJ, Kim TU.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 2016; 40(1):164-6. PubMed ID: 26422768.
    Abstract:
    We report on a rare case of an epidermoid cyst in an intrapancreatic accessory spleen (ECIAS) that presented as a cystic lesion in the tail of the pancreas, in a 21-year-old woman. ECIAS is very rare; thus, accurate diagnosis before surgery is difficult. When a wall within the lesion presents with similar imaging features to accessory splenic tissues on magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging, ECIAS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in the tail of the pancreas.
