A dead dove was found on the road and submitted for diagnosis. The bird was severely emaciated, with deformation in its facial area. Grossly, white coalescing nodules were seen on the cut surface of the nasal cavity. Histopathologically, epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract were markedly proliferated, with ballooning degeneration, down growth of the rete ridge, and large eosinophilic...

BACKGROUND Female CD-1/Swiss Webster mice subjected to incessant ovulation for 8 months and 12-month breeder mice both developed ovarian inclusion cysts similar to serous cystadenomas. The majority of cysts appeared to be dilated rete ovarii tubules, but high ovulation number resulted in more cortical inclusion cysts. We hypothesized that comparison of inclusion cyst pathology in animals of the...

Endogenous development of Choleoeimeria rochalimai (Carini et Pinto, 1926) Lainson et Paperna, 1999 in the gall bladder of Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonnes, 1818) from Belém, Brazil is reported at the fine structural level. Meronts and gamonts develop in the epithelial cells of the gall bladder. Infected cells become enlarged and displaced above the epithelial layer. Developing merozoites...

Congenital dermoid cysts of the central nervous system are ra re lesions. Congenital dermoid cysts located over the anterior fontanel are reported in two Turkish infants. These two cases are examples of such a lesion in an infant of non-African descent. Key Word s: Anterior fontanel, congenital inclusion cyst, dermoid cyst

Epidermal inclusion cyst of the breast is an uncommon benign lesion and it is usually located in the skin layer. We report here on two cases of ruptured epidermal inclusion cysts in the subareolar area, which is a very unusual location for these cysts and these lesions can be mistaken for breast malignancies.

The occurrence of inclusion cysts of the external genitalia following circumcision is well documented. It may involve the clitoris, the vulva, or the vagina. However, postcircumcision stone-containing cysts have not been described in the English literature. A case of inclusion cyst of the vulva containing multiple stones following circumcision is presented in this report. A 31-year-old nulligra...

A 50 year old male presented with a history of mid line painless swelling in the perineum for last 4 years. The patient's only concern was a perineal swelling which was gradually increasing in size. Clinical examination mimics subcutaneous lipoma with soft lobulated surface with positive slip sign. The base line investigations were within normal limits. Complete surgical excision of the cyst pe...

BACKGROUND Despite global eradication efforts, female genital cutting is still deep routed practice in some parts of Asia and East Africa. The crude and unscientific natures of the practice lead to many complications. Epidermoid inclusion cysts of the vulva are one of the late complications of female genital cutting and typically present as painless cystic swellings. But clinical presentation a...

Chlamydia trachomatis infections represent the predominant cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections. As an obligate intracellular bacterium, C. trachomatis is dependent on the host cell for survival, propagation, and transmission. Thus, factors that affect the host cell, including nutrition, cell cycle, and environmental signals, have the potential to impact chlamydial development. Pr...

We report a scrotal epidermal inclusion cyst located outside the median raphe which a rare entity in the absence of trauma and few cases have been reported. 47 year old male presents with a complaint of right sided testicular swelling and discomfort. On examination a 3 cm mass was palpated between the scrotum and the medial thigh on the subcutaneous tissue with a positive slip sign. Complete su...
