Epidermoid cyst of the spleen is a rare, benign cystic lesion of congenital origin. Although most epidermoid cysts of the spleen are asymptomatic and detected incidentally on ultrasonography, the entity needs to be included in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesion mimics of the spleen, especially in patients with left hypochondriac pain. This case report describes the typical sonological appearance of epidermoid cyst of the spleen in a 31-year-old male.
脾表皮样囊肿是一种罕见的先天性良性囊性病变。虽然大多数脾表皮样囊肿无症状，在超声检查时偶然发现，但在鉴别诊断脾脏囊性病变模拟物时需要考虑到该实体，尤其是在有左季肋部疼痛的患者中。本病例报告描述了一名31岁男性脾表皮样囊肿的典型超声表现。
