Dermoid cysts are malformations that are rarely observed in the oral cavity. Histologically, they can be further classified as epidermoid, dermoid or teratoid. We report a case in which a 25-year-old man developed an epidermoid cyst presenting as a large sublingual swelling causing speech and swallowing difficulties. The differential diagnosis for dermoid cysts includes infections, tumours, muc...

introduction retrorectal cysts are rare benign lesions which are frequently diagnosed in middle-aged females. according to their origin and histopathologic features, retrorectal cysts are classified as squamous-lined (dermoid or epidermoid) cysts, postanal gut (tailgut) cysts, and rectal duplications (enteric or enterogenous cysts, enterocystomas). described in this case report is an extremely ...

the occurrence of epidermoid and dermoid cysts in the oral cavity is extremely rare accounting 0.01% of all cysts. in our case report we hereby present a large epidermoid cyst in the floor of mouth imitating a plunging ranula. a 26-year-old female reported to us with a complaint of a swelling below the tongue since 2 year. on examination there was a swelling in the left side of the floor of the...

BACKROUND The diagnosis of epidermoid cyst is seldom in doubt, and associated malignancy extremely rare, yet it is commonplace for the lesion to be sent to the pathology laboratory for analysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate our current practice with regards to diagnostic accuracy among clinicians, and assess risk of not routinely sending suspected epidermoid cysts for histological exam...

Background: Epidermoid cyst is an uncommon intracranial lesion. The most common location is the cerebello-pontine angle (CPA). Unusual locations include intra-ventricular, sellar and supra-sellar regions as well as extra-axial in the temporal region. Patients and Methods: Ten patients were retrospectively included in this study. All patients were diagnosed and treated in Zagazig University hosp...

Splenic cysts are rare tumors, grouped into parasitic and non-parasitic cysts, no-parasitic further classified primary secondary depending on the mucous membrane of cyst, radiological imaging allows diagnosis to be made but confirmation is based an atom-o-pathological examination part. surgical treatment cornerstone symptomatic complicated splenic cysts. The conservative a reference for We repo...

Intracranial squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare, with most of the cases arising from malignant transformation of an epidermoid or a dermoid cyst. The patient presented with facial weakness. Initial magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the right cerebellopontine angle. A subtotal resection was performed via right retrosigmoid suboccipital approach. Histopathological findings were...

RATIONALE Epidermoid cysts are slow-growing, benign tumor which account for less than 1% of all intraspinal tumors and epidermoid cyst with Atypical Hyperplasia is very rare. Surgical resection is the standard treatment of the tumor, but recurrence is not uncommon after incomplete resection. Inappropriate treatment can lead to repeated recurrent. Here, we reported a case of repeated recurrent e...

Objective: Epidermoid cysts are rare lesions in the oral cavity. Intraoral epidermoid cysts are most commonly located in the floor of the mouth; they are less common in the lips and buccal mucosa. Cysts arising from the buccal mucosa are often difficult to distinguish from other lesions. We herein report a case of epidermoid cyst in the buccal mucosa diagnosed with imaging. Methods: A 65-year-o...
