Epidermoid cysts are common cystic lesions in the skin, ovaries, and testicles, but their occurrence in the oral cavity is uncommon. They consist of cysts delimited by a fibrous capsule without cutaneous annexes and are lined by stratified squamous epithelium. The differential diagnosis includes ranula, dermoid cysts, and lingual thyroid. Despite their benign presentation, these cysts can cause...

Cysts commonly occurring in the neck include thyroglossal cyst and dermoid cysts in the midline, cystic thyroid nodules, branchial cysts and cystic Hygroma in the lateral neck. Hydatid cyst disease is commonly seen in the right lobe of the liver, the lung and rarely in other parts of the body. In general, cysts in the neck are not common in the second decade of life. In this article, we present...

Although the intrathoracic location is common for hydatid cyst, chest-wall, mediastinal, pericardial, myocardial, fissural and pleural-space locations have been reported. The incidence of mediastinal involvement is 0.1-0.5%. Here in this paper, two cases of mediastinal hydatid cysts are reported. Both of them had anterior mediastinal hydatidosis, while one of the patients had also additional th...

Radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst occurring in the jaws. The cyst is commonly found in relation to the maxillary anterior teeth in the third and fifth decade of life. Although multiple radicular cysts are not uncommon in the jaws, bilaterally symmetrical representation of these cysts is rare. Radiographs prior to extraction help in diagnosis of these cysts and thereby prevent f...

Cervical thymic cysts are nearly 0.3% of all congenital cervical cysts. Thymic cysts are asymptomatic, but they rarely complain of dysphagia or tracheal obstruction symptoms. A soft, mobile, and painless mass increasing with valsalva maneuver directs the diagnosis of laryngocele. There has not been any study in the literature in which thymic cyst presenting like laryngocele. We hereby present a...

Cardiac echinococcosis is extremely rare, and cysts are found mostly within the myocardium. Most cardiac hydatid cysts are located in the left ventricular wall. Only a few cases of isolated pericardial hydatid cysts have been reported. Echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are important diagnostic tools for the diagnosis of echinococcosis. Herein, we report a rare...

Objective Solitary congenital liver cysts are a rare finding and present a challenge in the diagnosis. The role of laparoscopy surgery in the management of benign cysts is now the gold standard for treating selected, giant, accessible, symptomatic or complicated cysts. Our objective was to assess the feasibility, the safety and the efficacy of the minimally invasive technique procedure for trea...

Our case concerns 66-year-old female with a multiple unusual locations of hydatid cysts including bladder, psoas muscle and liver. Coexistence of hydatid cysts in these localizations has not been previously reported. The diagnosis of vesical hydatid cyst was facilitated by the coexistence of other echinococcosis locations. Treatment consists of the excision of the cysts in the same session with...

background and aims. accurate differential diagnosis between radicular cysts and periapical granulomas cannot be made from radiographs alone. histological prevalence studies, therefore, assume special importance and may aid the clinician in making judgments regarding therapy. the incidence of radicular cysts has ranged with wide discrepancies in data. the purpose of this study was to evaluate r...

conclusions it seems that early diagnosis and intact surgery of multiple ovarian dermoid cysts during the second trimester of pregnancy could prevent complication of cysts and probably guarantee the prevention of adverse pregnancy outcome. case presentation a 28-year-old, pregnant, primipara female with gestational age 20 weeks + four days where referred to with complaint of pelvic mass that wa...
