CYSTS of Krause's glands usually occur as retention cysts in cicatricial conditions of the conjunctiva such as trachoma, or pemphigus (Stoewer, 1892; Thompson and Chatterton, 1905; Contino, 1960; Caocci, 1932) or after the scar caused by excision of chalazion (Paton, 1919). Giri (1936) and Butler (1907) reported cases wherein no conjunctival scarring was evident. The cysts occur in the upper fo...

Objective: To report 2 cases of coexisting mucous retention cyst and basal cell adenoma arising from the lining epithelium of the cyst. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: Two cases of painless swellings, well-demarcated, soft to palpation, and located in the submucosa of the upper lip were clinically examined with the provisional diagnosis of mucocele or salivary gland tumor. Histological ...

The mucous escape reaction or Mucocele as it is called is a salivary gland lesion of traumatic origin which is formed when the main duct of a minor salivary gland is torn with subsequent extravasation of the mucus into the fibrous connective tissue. In due course a cyst like cavity is produced which is filled with mucin. This lesion is described by number of names including mucus retention phen...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the detection of mucous retention cyst of maxillary sinus (MRCMS) using panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). STUDY DESIGN A digital database with 6,000 panoramic radiographs was reviewed for MRCMS. Suggestive images of MRCMS were detected on 185 radiographs, and patients were located and invited to return for follow-up. Thirty patients returned...

We treated nine patients with skin defect produced by digital mucous cyst (DMC) excision on the finger and toe using lateral finger flap (LFF). The postoperative scars were esthetically acceptable and no recurrence of mucous cysts was observed. Our LFF is a simple method to repair minor distal dorsal finger defects.

Background Mucous retention cysts and pseudocysts of the maxillary sinus are benign lesions present in up to 13% adult patients. Different surgical approaches for lift dental implant placement presence these have been proposed. Material methods A systematic review was performed following PRISMA statement recommendations answer PICO question: Does aspiration or removal mucous cysts/pseudocysts b...

INTRODUCTION Mucous cyst is the commonest soft tissue tumor in the dorsum of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) of the finger. We report the first case of a recurring eccrine tumor (nodular hidradenoma), mimicking a mucous/ganglion cyst, on the dorsum of the DIPJ. CASE REPORT A 54 year old man presented with painless, hemispherical, colored swelling on the dorsum of his right middle fing...

A rare case of lymphoepithelial cyst formed in the piriform sinus of the hypopharynx is reported. Histopathological examination revealed a lymphoepithelial cyst. It was removed by laryngomicrosurgical technique using a side-opened direct laryngoscope. Because this cyst was wide-based on the antero-medial region in the right piriform sinus of the hypopharynx, the mucous membrane around the cyst ...

The dorsal nasal cyst formation is a rare and late complication of rhinoplasty. It has been rarely reported in the literature and it is usually mucous cysts. Migration and planting to the subcutaneous space during the surgical procedure has been recognized as the formation mechanism. This case report has presented 42-year-old male patient with a destructing dorsal nasal mucous cyst that develop...
