A 33-year-old man was evaluated because of an incidentally found cyst in the pancreatic tail, which was first seen 6 years ago. The cyst was a unilocular cystic mass, 13.0 cm in diameter, and had increased in size in last 2 months. On F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT), the cystic wall showed increased FDG uptake. The patient underwent distal pancreatectomy with suspicion of mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. The mass turned out to be a squamous carcinoma arising from an epidermoid cyst in an intrapancreatic accessory spleen (ECIPAS). FDG PET/CT may assist recognition of a potential malignant lesion arising from an ECIPAS.
一名33岁男性因偶然发现胰尾部囊肿而接受评估,该囊肿于6年前首次发现。囊肿为单房囊性肿块,直径13.0厘米,在过去2个月内大小有所增加。在F-18氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG PET/CT)检查中,囊肿壁显示FDG摄取增加。患者因怀疑胰腺黏液性囊性肿瘤而接受了胰腺远端切除术。结果发现肿块是起源于胰腺内副脾表皮样囊肿(ECIPAS)的鳞状细胞癌。FDG PET/CT可能有助于识别起源于ECIPAS的潜在恶性病变。
