Mucinous cystadenoma of the spleen Report of a rare case Chao-Hung Hung, Chi-Sin Changchien, Shue-Shian Chiou, and Chao-Cheng Hwang Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Medicine; Department of Pathology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical Center, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. ABSTRACT A rare case of mucinous cystadenoma of the spleen is reported. The patient was a 63-year-old female with a cystic mass in the spleen demonstrated by echo and CT scan. Surgical exploration revealed the tumor was confined in the spleen with extravasation of mucinous material from a rupture into left subphrenic space. Microscopically, the cystic space was lined by a single layer of mucin-producing columnar epithelial cells without malignant change. We reviewed the literature and found this may be the second case of splenic mucinous cystadenoma.
