Spinal dermoid tumors are rare, benign, slow growing tumors. These tumors may become acutely symptomatic after rupture or infection. Excision of the lesion with long term close follow-up studies is required for the management of these lesions. We present a very rare case of ruptured conus medullaris dermoid cyst in a 22-year-old male presented with urinary retention and low back pain. Magnetic ...

Dermoid cyst is a type of choristoma that generally originates from a bony structure due to abnormal ectodermal sequestration during the course of development. Dermoid cysts can appear in any part of body but 7 percent occur in the head and neck. Its most common location is at the antero-lateral frontozygomatic suture, which is located above the superior orbital rim, followed by the superomedia...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the association between reproductive, contraceptive, and menstrual factors and risk of benign ovarian tumours. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a case-control study carried out in six London Hospitals. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used. SUBJECTS 62 women with a benign epithelial ovarian neoplasm, 37 women with a functional ovarian cyst,...

A dermoid cyst occurring within the parotid gland of a 37-year-old Chinese man is reported. The diagnostic difficulties, histopathological features and pathogenesis are considered.

A case of obstructive sleep apnoea is reported that was caused by a dermoid cyst of the floor of the mouth and cured by surgery.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Epidermoid and dermoid cysts are benign cystic lesions, lined by ectodermal squamous epithelium. They are not common in the head and neck areas, which constitute ~7% of all cases of epidermoid and dermoid cysts. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of epidermoid and dermoid cysts that developed around the ear. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The...

The authors are presenting here a case of dermoid cyst in 50-year-male who presented with 3 months history of headache.

A 61-year-old woman had bi lateral sensorineural hearing loss and difficulty with balance but no vertigo. Neurologic examination showed a right-sided peripheral facial nerve paresis, nystagmus on right and left lateral gaze, hypesthesia in the territory of the right trigeminal nerve with corneal hypesthesia, deviation to the right at toe walking, and positive Romberg sign.

A Mesenteric cyst are rare abdominal tumours with an incidence quoted in literature of 1 in 105000 to 250000 hospitalized adult patients [1]. The origin of cyst can be lymphatic, mesothelial, enteric, urogenital, or dermoid. Symptomatic presentation of mesenteric cyst in adult patients is rare. Moreover, presentation of a soft tissue tumour in mesentery is itself rare and presentation mimicking...

The objective was to introduce a new system for transvaginal removal of ovarian cyst and to evaluate its feasibility. With a new transvaginal system, ultrasound-assisted culdotomy, and laparoscopy supported cystectomy if vaginal procedure failed. The authors conducted a retrospective review in which 35 cases using new vaginal ovarian cystectomy were compared with 40 cases of laparoscopic cystec...
