Specific radiological features with which to clinch a diagnosis may be elusive. Herein we present the case of a patient who presented with symptoms attributable to a cyst in the left upper abdomen, irritating the diaphragm. Surgery was considered appropriate for diagnostic and symptomatic purposes. Final histology demonstrated an epidermoid cyst. Resolution of symptoms was reported after surgery. Diaphragmatic epidermoid cysts appear to be a rare entity with only three prior cases reported in the literature. Given the rarity of this lesion and the lack of unique features by which they can be characterized, accurately diagnosing epidermoid cysts of the diaphragm is likely to remain difficult without surgery, although they are presumed to have a benign behaviour.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,7]],"date-time":"2024-03-07T09:14:59Z","timestamp":1709802899000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Rare finding of a symptomatic epidermoid cyst of the diaphragm \u2013 a case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2024","author":[{"given":"Fraser","family":"Welsh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Te Whatu Ora Waikato Department of General Surgery, , 183 Pembroke Street Hamilton, Waikato 3204, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"Weilert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Te Whatu Ora Waikato Deparment of Gastroenterology, , 183 Pembroke Street Hamilton, Waikato 3204, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernd","family":"Grunewald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Te Whatu Ora Waikato Department of General Surgery, , 183 Pembroke Street Hamilton, Waikato 3204, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laxmi","family":"Lanka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, I-MED Radiology Network , 11 Thackeray Street Hamilton 3204, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudha","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Pathlab Waikato , 58 Tristram Street Hamilton 3204, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"132","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2018.10.028","article-title":"The SCARE 2018 statement: updating consensus surgical CAse REport (SCARE) guidelines","volume":"60","author":"Agha","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int J Surg"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref2","first-page":"102 e23","article-title":"A rare presentation of small diaphragmatic epidermoid cyst with extremely elevated serum Ca19-9 level","author":"El-Khoury","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ann R Coll Surg Engl"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"171","DOI":"10.7181\/acfs.2020.00248","article-title":"Epidermoid cyst: a single-Centre review of 432 cases","volume":"21","author":"Kim","year":"2020","journal-title":"Arch Craniofac Surg"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejro.2019.08.003","article-title":"Overview of epidermoid cyst","volume":"6","author":"Hoang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Eur J Radiol Open"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2017.04.014","article-title":"Epidermoid cyst of the spleen, a case report","volume":"35","author":"Vuyyuru","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref6","first-page":"rjt086","article-title":"A rare splenic pseudocyst","volume":"9","author":"Verma","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"618","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radcr.2019.02.017","article-title":"Report of an incidental finding of a congenital intradiaphragmatic cyst in an adult and a critical review of the literature","volume":"14","author":"Jackson","year":"2019","journal-title":"Radiology Case Reports"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1186\/s13019-016-0444-9","article-title":"Intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts: case report and systematic review","volume":"11","author":"Mubang","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Cardiothoracic Surg"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"130","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2016.10.071","article-title":"Isolated hydatid cyst of the diaphragm, a case report","volume":"29","author":"Salih","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref10","first-page":"135","article-title":"Isolated splenic hydatid disease: a rare case in rural New Zealand","volume":"16","author":"Bardsley","year":"2022","journal-title":"N Z Med J"},{"key":"2024030709144950900_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"275","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-198804000-00003","article-title":"Epithelial (true) splenic cysts.
