“…accidental or surgical) (11, 15–17, 21). However, among the mucinous splenic cysts, some cases are derived from ectopic pancreatic tissue (4, 6–8, 12, 14) as well as being secondary to peritoneal pseudomyxoma (3, 5, 9, 10, 13). In addition, several cases involving the peritoneum/retroperitoneum are associated with the smooth muscle layer, which is considered to be derived from either residual or duplicate müllerian duct (20, 22–24).…”

A case of endosalpingiosis appearing as a huge multilocular cyst in the spleen of a 31-year-old woman is reported. The cystic lumens were smooth, and lined by fallopian tubal epithelium containing ciliated and secretory cells. The epithelial lining showed neither atypia nor foci of papillary proliferation, with only 3-5% MIB-1 labeling index. The epithelial lining was histochemically negative for mucin, but positive for MUC1 and progesterone receptor. Despite the appearance of a tumor-like mass, it was diagnosed as florid cystic endosalpingiosis as there was a normal tube-like epithelium. Regarding etiology, it was considered to derive from the secondary müllerian system of the splenic capsule.

Background: Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon tumors with varying potential for malignancy. Although traumatic splenic rupture is common, spontaneous rupture is a rare event. Case Report: We present an unusual case of spontaneous splenic rupture, due to an otherwise asymptomatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the tail of the pancreas. Conclusion: A tumor of the tail of the pancreas may uncommonly present as spontaneous splenic rupture, probably due to venous congestion and infiltration of the spleen, requiring emergency surgical treatment.

“…Heterotopic pancreas can reflect all pathological changes that may occur in the pancreas at its normal location, including inflammation, 2 neoplastic transformation 3 and cystic degeneration. However, to the best of our knowledge, only 10 cases have been reported in which an intrasplenic cyst has been attributed to a pancreatic origin 1,3–5 . We report here an unusual case of mucinous cystadenoma with mesenchymal stroma, presenting as a splenic cyst and treated by segmental splenectomy.…”

“…The tail of the pancreas and the spleen develop continuously within the dorsal mesogastrium and the two organs maintain this close relationship 1 . It has been postulated that such heterotopic tissue was the origin of 10 splenic cysts described in the literature: in seven of these cases, the lesion was a pseudocyst, whereas in the remaining three it was a mucinous cystic tumour 1,3–5 …”
