The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatic cysts by age and gender in patients with early autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and to determine whether hepatic cyst volume is related to renal and renal cyst volumes by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A total of 230 patients with ADPKD (94 men and 136 women) who were aged 15 to 46 yr and had r...

nine lung hydatid cyst fluid of echinococcus granulosus species from man were analysed by electrophoresis. immunoelectrophoresis and biochemical tests. in addition respective sera of the- host were analysed for comparison. analysis revealed striking similarities in celfulose acetate and agarose gel electrophoretic and immunoelectro phoretic patterns of proteins from hydatid cyst fluid and the s...

we report a rare case of congenital foregut cysts (esophageal bronchogenic cyst) in a young woman with history of long term dysphagia. she presented with dysphagia and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed bulge submucosal lesion in the distal of the esophagus. endoscopic ultrasound showed a 3×3 cm cystic lesion suggestive for esophageal duplication or bronchogenic cyst. computed tomography o...

Hydatid cyst is a helminth infection. The rupture of a hepatic hydatid cyst in inferior vena cava is a rare and lethal complication. Pulmonary embolism is the commonest manifestation. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst is made by histopathological or serological examination, and imaging may suggest the probability of hydatid cyst. Surgical treatment should be performed with caution and always under ...

dermoid cyst is a tumor arises due to embryogenesis impairment. it accounts for less than 0.3 percent of all intracranial masses. a 35 years old man presented with a tonic clonic seizure without any significant past history of seizure. physical examination and imaging propounded epidermoid cyst as diagnosis. the patient had a craniotomy and cyst was totally removed. operative findings and histo...

Botryoid cyst, a rare type of odontogenic cyst, is usually considered a multilocular variant of lateral periodontal cyst. It was first described in 1973, and up to the present less than a hundred cases have been reported in the literature. Botryoid cysts are characterized by a multilocular histologic finding and a higher risk of recurrence than lateral periodontal cysts. In this article, we pre...

Renal hydatid cyst is a rare entity as compared to hepatic cyst. However, literature manifests case reports of renal cysts. The establishment diagnosis becomes difficult in non-endemic areas. tumour well-considered on clinical examination and radiological investigations for this condition. We presented 45-yearsold male patient who with hematuria was labelled cell carcinoma clinically radiologic...

It is very rare that a foramen magnum arachnoid cyst induces compression of the spinal cord and syringomyelia, and currently there are few treatment experiences available. Here we reported the case of a 43-year-old male patient who admitted to the hospital due to weakness and numbness of all 4 limbs, with difficulty in urination and bowel movement. MRI revealed a foramen magnum arachnoid cyst w...

The follicular hybrid is composed of more than two components of pilosebaceous unit. There are several studies of hybrid cyst, combination of trichilemmal and epidermoid cyst was the most frequently reported. In this paper, we reported one case of hybrid cyst composed of bullous pilomatricoma and epidermoid cyst. A 14-year-old girl was complaint of a solitary flesh-colored to erythematous nodul...

INTRODUCTION Simple hepatic cysts rarely cause symptoms, however, occasionally they become symptomatic due to mass effect, rupture, hemorrhage, and infection. We report a patient with a large hepatic cyst with elevated serum and cyst fluid CA19-9 levels. We studied serum and cyst fluid CA19-9 levels in this patient, before and after the intracystic instillation of minocycline hydrochloride. C...
