A case of amyloid goiter in a 73-year-old man with systemic amyloidosis complicating long lasting rheumatoid arthritis is reported. The thyroid gland was massively infiltrated with amyloid and contained foci of fat tissue and epithelial solid cell nests. Incidentally, a cyst lined by squamous epithelium, with small amount of lymphocytes in the subepithelial stroma was found. This cyst fulfilled...

Introduction. Thyroglossal duct cysts are developmental, epithelial lesions localized in the neck?s median line. They occur mainly children and adolescents; however, they also one-third of patients older than 20 years age. The symptoms dependent on size location along path thyroglossal duct. Case outline.

Epidermal cysts are very common lesions. Here we present the unusual case of an epidermal cyst occurring between the anal sphincters, presenting as a lump in the perineum. This was successfully excised with careful dissection of the intersphincteric plane. To our knowledge this is the only case of its kind reported in the literature.

The epidermoid cyst is a benign lesion which characteristically consists of a cyst lined by squamous epithelium and contains keratinous debris [1]. With regard to the thyroid gland, it is usually not diagnosed until biopsy is undertaken [2-7]. Therefore, this paper presents 3 cases found by means of the establishment of a histopathology data pool as was recommended by a Birmingham (UK) group [8...

A median raphe cyst is an uncommon entity. An extensive literature search has revealed only less than 200 reported cases. Among these, only less than 10 have been reported from the Indian subcontinent. Usually, it is located in the midline, anywhere between the urethral meatus and the anus. We are presenting a case of a prepucial median raphe cyst, which occurred at a very uncommon location, wh...

Simple bone cysts (SBC) are pseudocysts occurring less commonly in the maxillofacial region. The uncertain and unclear etiopathogenesis led to numerous synonyms to refer this particular cyst. These cysts are devoid of an epithelial lining and are usually empty or contain blood or straw-colored fluid. In jaws initially it mimics a periapical cyst and later can lead to cortical bone expansion war...
