Abstract Epidermoid cyst in the intrapancreatic accessory spleen (ECIAS) is an exceedingly rare nonneoplastic entity. It generally does not require therapeutic intervention, but it is often misdiagnosed preoperatively as a cystic tumor, such as a mucinous cystic neoplasm or a cystic degeneration in a solid pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor or solid pseudopapillary neoplasm. We herein report a rare case of ECIAS in a 33-year-old African American man with a history of end-stage renal disease secondary to IgA nephropathy, congestive heart failure, and sickle cell trait who was referred to our facility for a renal transplant workup. A contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography during the workup revealed a bilobed low attenuating mass (3.4 × 3.4 × 2.5 cm) in the tail of the pancreas. Because malignancy could not be excluded, the patient underwent a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Gross examination of the surgical specimen revealed a smooth-walled, multiloculated cyst (3.7 × 2.7 × 2.0 cm), containing serous fluid within the pancreatic parenchyma. Microscopically, the cyst was lined by nonkeratinizing stratified squamous epithelium without skin appendages, surrounded by benign splenic tissue in the pancreatic parenchyma. No dysplasia or malignancy was seen. Immunohistochemically, the lining epithelium was positive for p63, CK5/6, and CEA and negative for CA19-9, which supports the above diagnosis. The postoperative course was uneventful. In conclusion, ECIAS is a rare benign entity that can mimic malignant conditions and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in the tail of pancreas.

A case of sublingual epidermoid cyst presenting distinctive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings is described. A 39-year-old man presented to our hospital with a three months progressive left submandibular swelling, difficulty moving his tongue, and snoring. Preoperative evaluation with MRI and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) revealed that the heterogeneous cystic lesion contained the squamous cells, which is compatible with ectodermal tissue. The mass was located above the mylohyoid muscle and spread to the pharyngeal space. By considering the size, infection history, patient age, and location, the cyst was completely resected under general anesthesia via cervical approach without any complication. Histopathologically, the cyst wall was lined by stratified squamous epithelium with no skin appendage, suggesting an epidermoid cyst. Ultrasound (US), MRI and FNAC were very useful of the preoperative diagnosis for oral and sublingual lesion. The postoperative course was uneventful and without recurrence after 24 months. This case showed that epidermoid cysts formed the rarely heterogeneous cystic tumor and it underlined usefulness of preoperative diagnosis, such as US, MRI and FNAC for oral and sublingual tumor.
