An unusual case of saphenous neuropathy secondary to compression by a large hydatid cyst within the adductor longus muscle is reported. Solitary hydatid cyst(s) localized in the skeletal muscles occur rarely and often mimic soft tissue tumours. Presentation with signs of peripheral nerve compression by a hydatid cyst in an extremity is exceedingly rare. Diagnosis can be established by ultrasoun...

Duodenal duplication cyst (DDC) is a rare congenital anomaly that typically presents with symptoms during childhood [1]. Acute pancreatitis and biliary obstruction have rarely been reported in adults [2,3]. Twomodalities of treatment havebeendescribed for DDCs: surgical [4,5] and endoscopic, by means of cyst marsupialization [1]. The rationale behind cyst marsupialization is to establish commun...

Various complications of hydatid cyst have been recognized to date. We have encountered one such complication-rupture of hydatid cyst to the duodenum­ leading to upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a 40 year old male, who referred with severe right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain and gastrointestinal bleeding of a few hours' duration. Laparotomy revealed a cyst (7 x 15 cm) in the left lobe of the ...

INTRODUCTION The lateral periodontal cyst, as the name implies, occurs on a lateral periodontal location and is of developmental origin, arising from cystic degeneration of clear cells of the dental lamina. A botryoid odontogenic cyst is considered to be a rare multilocular variant of a lateral periodontal cyst. CASE PRESENTATION We report the clinical and histopathologic features of a rare c...

CONTEXT Cyst fluid CEA concentration>192 ng/mL has proven accurate to differentiate mucinous from non-mucinous pancreatic cystic neoplasms. It is unclear whether the degree of cyst fluid CEA elevation is predictive of malignant behavior in IPMNs. OBJECTIVES To determine whether elevated cyst fluid CEA concentrations were predictive of invasive cancer. DESIGN Cross sectional study. SETTING...
