CONTEXT With the more frequent use of cross sectional imaging, the detection of cystic pancreatic incidentalomas has become a relatively common entity. The commonest cystic incidentalomas are neoplastic. Pseudocysts are the most single common pathological entity. Foregut cystic lesions as a pathological entity are rare but mostly observed in the mediastinum. Ciliated foregut cysts of the pancre...

Schwannomas are rare neoplasms that originate from Schwann cells. We present a case report of schwannoma of the ansa cervicalis in a patient where preoperative imaging suggested thyroid pathology. A 25-year-old man presented to the otolaryngology department with a one-year history of an asymptomatic, anterior triangle neck swelling. Imaging and FNA suggested a cystic lesion of the thyroid. Howe...

Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor, but the incidence of its metastasis is extremely low. We report a case of unicystic ameloblastoma metastasizing to the cervical lymph nodes. This patient pointed out a radiolucent cystic lesion with impacted wisdom tooth in the left mandibular region, and recieved enucleation of the cystic lesion and removal of the wisdom tooth. Histopathogica...

Lymphangiomas are rare congenital malformations which are commonly seen in the head and neck region. The disease can be histologically differentiated from other vascular disorders such as cavernous or capillary hemangioma with the lymphatic endothelium-lined cystic spaces. The onset of lymphangiomas are either at birth (60 to 70%) or up to two years of age (90%). It is rare in adults. The thera...

The main aim of this review article is to highlight the most important clinical features of the lesions occurring on the lip and the tongue. Black hairy tongue, a disorder seen on the dorsum of the tongue showing a hairy appearance 1 , actinic chelitisthe main precancerous lesion of the lip 2 , oral hairy leukoplakiaa disorder of tongue seen in immunocompromised patients 3 , lymphangiomas which...

We describe a rare case of a young woman with a large cystic adenomyotic lesion that was treated laparoscopically. The patient presented with severe dysmenorrhoea refractory to common analgaesics. She was initially diagnosed with right-sided ovarian endometrioma. MRI revealed a cystic lesion of 4 cm attached to the right uterine wall. Under laparoscopic vision, the uterine lesion was identified...

A 23-year-old Brazilian man, a farmer in a rural area of Minas Gerais State, complained of an 8-month history of neck pain and upper-limb weakness. Flaccid tetraparesis, global hyperreflexia, and pyramidal signs were present. Cranial CT and brain MRI were normal. Spinal cord MRI showed an intramedullary tumoral lesion, extending from C3 to C5 vertebral bodies, with a cystic appearance (figure 1...

Lymphangioma is a benign mass lesion characterized by numerous thin-walled lymphatic spaces that usually manifests in the first few years of life. They generally appear in the head, neck and axillary regions. Abdominal lymphangiomas have been reported however they are rare 5%. The small bowel mesentery lymphangioma has been described in <1%. Lymphangiomas may remain asymptomatic or present with...

BACKGROUND : Cystic lymph node metastases have been associated with tonsil cancer. A subset of oropharyngeal cancers contain human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA. The clinical and virologic associations of cystic nodal metastasis in head and neck cancer (HNSCC) were investigated. METHODS : A retrospective review of patients undergoing neck dissection between 2002 and 2004 identified patients with c...

Context Acinar cell cystadenoma of pancreas is a very rare pancreatic cystic lesion. It is also a benign lesion without malignant potential. Because it is normal tissue with abnormal figuration, acinar cell transformation is also named. Case report We reported a thirty-sevenyear-old female noticed to have a cystic lesion closely in contact with the pancreatic tail by abdominal CT scan. After op...
