True cysts of the spleen are rare; in a few cases, high serum levels of carbohydrate and cancer antigen have been reported. In such instances, cyst resection or splenectomy is indicated to rule out malignant lesions and to remove the cancer antigen producing epithelium. We report the case of a young
Splenic epidermoid cyst is a rare disease and that with haematoma is even more rare. The case of epidermoid cyst of the spleen is described, in a 36-year-old Japanese female, manifesting as left hypochondralgia and rupture of the cyst. Clinical features were splenic lesion 14 cm in diameter and
BACKGROUND
Tumor markers are widely applied in clinical practice, however, few serum markers have been found for intracranial tumors. Herein, we firstly report an intracranial epidermoid cyst case with extremely high level of serum CA 199. Furthermore, the relationship between CA 199 level and
The use of laparoscopic splenectomy has increased in recent years, primarily for patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). We describe herein the first known case of a laparoscopic splenectomy to be performed in Japan for a patient with a giant splenic epidermoid cyst. A 26-year-old
Ibeta6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (IGnT) catalyzes the branching of poly-N-acetyllactosamine carbohydrate chains. In both humans and mice, three spliced forms of IGnT have been identified, and a common exon is present in all of them. We generated mice deficient in the common exon to understand
We evaluated carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels of intracranial dermoid and epidermoid cyst in serum and intratumoral tissue. The preoperative serum levels were mildly to moderately higher than their normal ranges in four of seven patients. In four patients with high serum CA 19-9 levels, they
OBJECTIVE
The diagnosis of intracranial epidermoid cyst (IEC) relies solely on MRI, which is time and money consuming. The application of tumor biomarkers in IEC has never been systematically studied. Here we screened a group of commonly used tumor biomarkers to assess their diagnostic value in
The development of an epidermoid cyst in an intrapancreatic accessory spleen is an extremely rare lesion, with only 17 cases being reported in the English literature. All such cases were located in the pancreatic tail, some of which showed carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) immunoreactivity in the
Non-parasitic splenic cysts are associated with elevated serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels. We report a case in which a 23-year-old female exhibited a large ruptured splenic cyst and an elevated serum CA19-9 level.The patient, who experienced True splenic cysts are uncommon and are associated with elevated serum and intracystic tumor marker CA 19-9 levels. A 33-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of epigastralgia. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed a 10-cm cystic lesion in the spleen. The serum
We report the case of a patient with a palpable mass and abdominal pain in the left upper quadrant. A physical examination revealed tenderness in this region. An ultrasound performed initially showed a large cystic structure. A CT examination revealed a large cyst originating in the spleen with
Splenic cyst is a relatively rare disease; however, the occurrence of complications associated with its rupture is even more rare. A 20-year-old female patient who had severe abdominal and left shoulder pain was admitted to our hospital. The patient's abdomen was hard and tender to the touch and she
Splenic cysts are rare and tend to have elevated tumor markers, of which carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 is the most frequently elevated. Therefore, splenic cysts with elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels and without CA19-9 elevation are extremely rare. A 26-year-old woman presented
OBJECTIVE
Intrapancreatic accessory spleen is a benign lesion that mimics hypervascular or cystic pancreatic neoplasm. A comprehensive clinicopathologic analysis has not yet been reported.
METHODS
We described the clinicopathologic characteristics of 12 cases of pathologically proven intrapancreatic
Large epidermal cysts that occur in the adenohypophysis of spawning lampreys develop as a consequence of destructive invasion of the parenchyma by an epithelium derived from the same anlage as the medial nasopharyngeal duct. The lumina of the cysts contain a carbohydrate-rich secretory material
