Abstract | Epidermoid cysts of the gastrointestinal tract are very uncommon and the published literature on this subject is anecdotal. We report the case of a 51-year-old man who was diagnosed with a cystic neoplasm located close to the cecum and the appendix. Given the strong suspicion of an appendiceal mucocele, the patient underwent a laparoscopic exploration. During the operation, a semisolid mass appearing to originate from the cecal wall was identified and a laparoscopic ileo-cecal resection was performed. The pathological diagnosis was an epidermoid cyst of the cecum. An epidermoid cyst of the cecum is a rare entity that usually has a mild and aspecific clinical picture. However, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of an occasionally diagnosed peri-cecal cystic lesion. |
