ABSTRACT Epidermoid cyst is a common benign cutaneous swelling frequently encountered in surgical practice. It usually presents as a painless lump frequently occurring in hairbearing areas of the body particularly the scalp, scrotum, neck, shoulder and back. Giant epidermoid cysts commonly occur in hairy areas such as the scalp. We present here the case of a rare occurrence of a giant epidermoi...

Introduction:Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is an odontogenic cyst that sometimes shows aggressive behavior, while dentigerous cyst (DC) always has a benign nonaggressive course. There are evidences that myofibroblasts are involved in invasion and their role in biologic behavior of odontogenic cysts has been less understood. So, the aim of the present study was to compare th...

Preoperative assessment of an echinococcal liver cyst with surrounding tissue structures is extremely important for planning the course surgical intervention. The paper presents first experience treating a patient parasitic using three-dimensional reconstruction affected by echinococcus at preoperative stage. use this approach made it possible to avoid development intraoperative complications a...

Objective: Ultrasonography, as a diagnostic tool, constitutes non-invasive, cost-effective, readily-availableand repeatable imaging technique. Ultrasonography has been used means of diagnosing various medicalconditions for many years. However, in the field maxillofacial surgery it represents relatively new aidin diagnosis diseases affecting oral and regions. These include: infection,soft-tissue...

Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease that is common in the Mediterranean region. Thoracic wall, rib or extrapulmonary intrathoracic localization of the cysts is very rare. Giant extrapulmonary intrathoracic hydatid cysts can lead to both diagnostic and treatment difficulties and can be confused with tumor. We present a case of a hydatid cyst with thoracic wall involvement mimicking tumor. We conf...

This report describes a case of spontaneous abortion in a 4-year-old Golden Retriever dog with ovarian endometriosis. Clinical findings indicated that there was not any senstivity in the abdomen and the viability parameters were within the reference values. On vaginal examination, serosanguineous discharge was determined. Ultrasonographic examination revealed that no fetus was observed in cornu...

Nasolabial cyst is a rare nonodontogenic, soft-tissue cyst occurring in the sublabial area and anteriormaxillary region. The nasolabial cyst is classified as a fissural cyst, found outside the bone, and on the region corresponding to the nasolabial furrow and alar nose. This cyst is frequently asymptomatic with the most usual sign being alar nose elevation. In spite of the low occurrence of nas...

The nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) is the most common of the non-odontogenic cyst of the jaws. This cysts are usually central or unilateral with no prevalence of side occurrence. The NPDC is the most frequent developmental, nonodontogenic cyst of the jaws. This cyst originates from epithelial remnants from the nasopalatine duct. The cells could be activated spontaneously during life, or are even...

Introduction: Odontogenic cysts are characterized by an expansile non–infiltrative growth through several mechanisms which include presence of mast cells in the capsule. The mast cells can be demonstrated histochemically as well as immunohistochemically. Aim and Objectives: The primary objective of the study was to analyze the presence and distribution of mast cells in radicular cyst, dentigero...

Introduction: Heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst of the oral cavity is an extremely rare lesion with fewer than 40 cases reported in the English literature. It usually involves the soft tissue covering the floor of the mouth and the tongue. Lining of this lesion resembles gastric or intestinal mucosa. Case Report: In this report we describe the lesion in two boys and discuss their pathogenesis.
