Splenic epidermoid cysts are rare, often diagnosed with imaging but confirmed by histology. This case highlights imaging features of a splenic epidermoid cyst in a child with abdominal pain.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Splenic epidermoid cysts are uncommon benign splenic lesions.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on integrating imaging findings with histological confirmation.
  • These cysts can present with vague or post-traumatic abdominal symptoms.

Observation:

  • A case study of an eleven-year-old child presenting with a month of post-traumatic abdominal pain is detailed.
  • The clinical presentation included symptoms suggestive of a splenic abnormality.
  • Diagnostic imaging modalities were employed to evaluate the abdominal pain.

Findings:

  • Ultrasound, CT, and MRI demonstrated characteristic imaging features of a splenic epidermoid cyst.
  • Pathological correlation confirmed the diagnosis, matching the observed imaging patterns.

  • The review emphasizes the role of imaging in the pre-operative characterization of splenic epidermoid cysts.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering rare splenic lesions in pediatric abdominal pain evaluations.
    • Radiologists and surgeons can utilize this information to improve diagnostic accuracy for splenic epidermoid cysts.
    • Understanding imaging features aids in differentiating these cysts from other splenic pathologies.
