A 38 year old male underwent distal pancreatectomy for benign cystic pancreatic tumor. The pancreas tall contained a 2.3 x 2.1 cm accessory spleen associated with multiple epithelial inclusion cysts. The cysts were of varying sizes (max: 1.4 cm), lined by non‐keratinizing squamous epithelium with a few mucin‐producing cells, and filled with serous material. This is the fifth reported case of so‐called‘epidermoid’cysts in the intrapancreatic accessory spleen.
