Imaging features of epidermoid cysts in intrapancreatic spleen: a single center study of 24 patients
ECIPAS is a rare benign lesion, with nearly half exhibiting slightly uneven enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT scans. Usually, the solid-portion-enriched lesions show similar enhancement to that of the spleen, aiding in the precise preoperative diagnosis. ECIPAS can manifest in various locations within the pancreas, including the tail, head, and body. Patients may benefit from improved quality of life by avoiding unnecessary surgeries.
