Abstract | Tumours of the spleen are uncommon, and most are metastases from primaries in other organs. Primary splenic malignancies are subdivided into two main groups: lymphoid and non-lymphoid. Primary splenic cystadenocarcinomas are extremely rare, and only reports of the mucinous variant exist. We present the case of a female in her eighth decade of life who was found to have an incidental complex splenic mass with a cystic component, which showed an interval increase in size on serial imaging. After further investigation, including positron emission tomography (PET), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and laparoscopy, she successfully underwent distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and partial gastrectomy for a suspected locally invasive pancreatic malignancy. Histology and immunohistochemical analyses were consistent with the first recorded case of primary serous cystadenocarcinoma of the spleen in the literature. |
