Cyst fluid analysis for biochemistry markers has been widely used to aid the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts. A high cyst fluid carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level (>800 ng/mL) is said to be useful in distinguishing intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) from other non-mucinous cysts. We herein report a case of epidermoid cyst in an intrapancreatic accessory spleen with abnormally high CEA level (3582 ng/mL) in the cyst fluid, suggesting a potential pitfall in using cyst fluid CEA level as an indicator of mucinous neoplasms. 2022 artículo científico 2236-1960 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=576069818022 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5760/576069818022/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5760/576069818022/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5760/576069818022/576069818022.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5760/576069818022/movil 10.4322/acr.2021.369 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5760 Autopsy and Case Reports application/pdf Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo Autopsy and Case Reports (Brasil) Vol.12 |
