Plunging arises when extends beyond mouth neck. seen above level mylohyoid muscle often result gland duct obstruction. refers to pseudocyst that develops with rupture below muscle. Diagnosis difficult even modern imaging techniques this mimic o...

A glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC), a rare type of occurring in the jawbone, comprises about 0.2 % all cases. Recurrence is likely, thus long-term follow-up examinations are necessary. The present patient was 24-year-old Japanese female with multilocular GOC that extirpated following marsupialization. Two years after initial extirpation, recurred and re-extirpation performed, no recurrence note...

A large maxillary cyst was treated for 3 months with marsupialization and decompression, followed by surgical endodontic therapy of the affected teeth and cystectomy. Although small cystic lesions will typically heal with nonsurgical endodontic therapy, larger lesions may need additional treatment. Surgical enucleation of a large cystic lesion may lead to damage of other teeth or anatomic struc...

Background In this study, we present a case of unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) treated by marsupialization followed by surgical enucleation as a conservative approach. UA is a rare, benign, less aggressive, and less invasive variant of ameloblastoma that is observed quite often in younger patients. Radical approaches have effects on the physical and psychological development of a growing young pat...

this is a report of a very rare case of recurrent subclitoral abscess. its etiology and the best treatment of the disease is here in discussed. we, the same as sur, believe that marsupialization is the most promising treatment. recurrent periclitoral abscess has been described previously5. s ome of the authors believe that it is part of the pilonidal disease. the first pilonidal cyst in 7 the c...

Four patients with mucocele of maxillary sinus, observed between 1995 and 2001, with two years' follow-up, are described. Aim of the present study was to establish whether endoscopic marsupialization of the maxillary sinus mucocele is adequate resolutive treatment without complete removal of the mucocele wall, using more invasive approaches. The surgical procedure used was endoscopic endonasal ...

PURPOSE Congenital dacryocystocele is a rare anomaly in the newborn child. The swelling of lachrymal sac is observed by birth and it is associated with obstruction of lachrymal system either above or below lachrymal sac. METHODS Diagnosis was made by clinical observation. Some ancillary examinations, such as ultrasonography, tomography, and rhinoscopy, were useful. RESULTS The authors descr...

Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) is an uncommon benign cystic neoplasm of the jaw that develops from the odontogenic epithelium. Invasion into the maxillary sinus by a CCOT is not a typical, and the recurrence of the cystic variant of CCOT in the posterior maxilla is rare. This report describes a recurrent CCOT occupying most of the maxillary sinus of a 24-year-old male patient. As a ...

INTRODUCTION The paranasal sinuses mucoceles are benign expansive cystic lesions that occur rarely in the sphenoid sinus and contain mucous material enclosed by cylindrical pseudostratified epithelium. OBJECTIVE To report one case of sphenoid sinus mucocele that occurred with headache and was submitted to surgical treatment through endonasal endoscopy approach. CASE REPORT 59-year-old male ...

Second branchial cleft cysts are almost always located in the neck; thus, their presence in the nasopharynx is extremely rare. A 44-year-old man was referred to our department because a cystic mass was fortuitously found in the right lateral nasopharyngeal wall during transnasal esophagogastroscopy. He had suffered from intermittent right-sided nasal obstruction since childhood. T1- and T2-weig...
