Clinical case reports·2023

This study reports the first documented case of an epidermoid cyst originating within the pancreas itself. Diagnosis was confirmed via fine-needle aspiration and histology in a patient presenting with abdominal pain.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Epidermoid cysts are typically found in the spleen, including intrapancreatic splenic tissue.
  • Cysts occurring directly within the pancreatic parenchyma are rare and poorly documented.

Observation:

  • A 36-year-old male presented with abdominal pain radiating to the back.
  • Ultrasonography revealed a multilocular cyst in the pancreatic head.

Findings:

  • Fine-needle aspiration cytology suggested an epidermoid cyst.
  • Histological examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of an intrapancreatic epidermoid cyst.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known locations for epidermoid cyst development.
  • Highlights the importance of considering epidermoid cysts in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions.
