“…Surface mesothelium has been proposed as the origin of splenic epithelial tumors (Rao et al, 2007). Some people stated that such tumors arose from invaginated mesothelium of malignant transformation or a preexisting embryonic rest (Morinaga et al, 1992;Rao et al, 2007). We are more inclined to believe that the neoplasm in this case probably arose directly from the spleen, in the absence of evidence to support metastasis from other sites.…”

Abstract:We herein present a case of carcinosarcoma arising as a primary lesion in the spleen with the presence of local invasion of chest wall prior to widespread metastasis all over the body of a female aged 64 years. The detailed information of therapy and imaging evidences of morphology, histology, and immunohistochemistry are fully provided. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fifth reported case of a primary splenic carcinosarcoma and even the first case to be described with local invasion in the mongoloid. Carcinosarcoma that develops in the spleen with local invasion is extremely rare.

“…Primary true cysts of the spleen account for approximately 10% of all nonparasitic splenic cysts. [3][4][5][6][7][8] These cysts, however, are benign and apparently do not have malignant potential beyond that of the surrounding native tissue.…”

Cysts arising from spleen are a rare clinical entity, with their discovery usually being incidental. We present a case of the largest reported primary epithelial cyst of spleen. In present study a 16-year-old child presented with abdominal distension for 1 month associated with abdominal pain for 2 weeks. On examination, a mass was felt in the epigastrium, left hypochondrium and left flank, extending across from the right midclavicular line to the left midaxillary line, and extended inferiorly till 6cm caudal to umbilicus. CT abdomen revealed a unilocular cyst of 17x20x24cm arising from the spleen with a volume of 3700ml. Splenectomy was performed; intra-operatively there was a huge splenic cyst measuring 30x30x30cm. Histopathological examination was diagnostic of Primary congenital epithelial cyst of the spleen. Till date the largest congenital splenic cyst documented in literature is 20 cm × 13 cm × 21 cm, as reported by Valentina et al, in 2014. Present specimen bests this previous case considerably.

“…Surface mesothelium has been proposed as the origin of splenic epithelial tumours. Moringaga [6] reported a case of mucinous cyst adenocarcinoma of the spleen; they believed the neoplasm arose from invaginated mesothelium that had undergone malignant transformation. There is also a possibility that such tumours arise from a pre-existing embryonic rest.…”

Carcinosarcoma of the spleen: literature review of a very rare tumour

et al. 2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

AbstractCarcinosarcomas are rare tumours, which have both epithelial, and connective tissue elements. They are most commonly seen in the female genital tract. Rarely they arise from the gastrointestinal tract. We report a case of Carcinosarcoma arising as a primary in the spleen of a male aged 60yrs. The most unique feature of this tumour is the presence of osteosarcomatous element. This report highlights the importance of clinical awareness of such rare tumours and gives a brief overview on presentation, probable aetiology, diagnosis and management with literature review of carcinosarcoma.
