This is a case of benign mucinous cystadenoma of the spleen in Benghazi, Libya. It is the first reported in Libya and most probably the fourth in Africa. Primary mucinous cystadenoma of the spleen is an extremely unique benign cystic lesion. Only a very few number of cases have been reported. These cysts are assumed to arise from invagination of the splenic capsular epithelium or from the ectopic pancreatic tissue. We report a rare case of primary mucinous cystadenoma of the spleen without evidence of pancreatic tissue in the specimen. Despite being a rare condition, mucinous cystadenoma of the spleen should remain in the differential diagnosis of any splenic cysts.
这是一例发生在利比亚班加西的脾脏黏液性囊腺瘤病例。这是利比亚首次报告的此类病例，很可能是非洲第四例。脾脏原发性黏液性囊腺瘤是一种极为独特的良性囊性病变。仅有极少数病例被报道。这些囊肿被认为起源于脾包膜上皮的内陷或异位胰腺组织。我们报告一例罕见的脾脏原发性黏液性囊腺瘤病例，标本中未发现胰腺组织证据。尽管脾脏黏液性囊腺瘤是一种罕见病症，但在任何脾脏囊肿的鉴别诊断中都应将其考虑在内。
