  • Title: [Enteroid cyst of the spleen: a new entity? Apropos of 2 cases].
    Author: Issa M, Buemi A, Holderbach LJ, Ratignier A, Laedlein-Greilsammer D, Sengler J.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1984; 121(6-7):425-9. PubMed ID: 6480722.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe two cases of non parasitic cyst of the spleen of "enteroid" origin on histological examination. No similar cases have yet seen described in the medical literature that we consulted. The histology of these two cases is quite unusual in that cysts are multilocular and mucoid with a cylindrical mucus secreting epithelium similar to cystic tumours of the ovary. The outcome of the first case remains favorable four years after surgery. As in the case of mucoid or enteroid cyst of the ovary, a disembryological origin seems the most likely explanation of these cyst of the spleen.
