Background: Ovarian functional cyst is one of the most common pelvic mass in reproductive age which mostly resolves spontaneously. Sonography is a valuable tool for diagnosis of benign cyst with high accuracy. The objective of this cross sectional study was to evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal sonography in detecting type of ovarian cyst and compare the results wieh cytological results. Mat...

Six cases of splenic cysts, removed surgically in the Royal Free Hospital during the last 10 years, are presented. These include a hydatid cyst, two primary, epithelium lined, and three secondary, non-epithelium lined cysts. The histology, aetiology, symptomatology, diagnosis, treatment and complications of splenic cysts are discussed.

Lumbar intraspinal synovial cysts are included in the difference diagnosis of lumbar radiculopathy. Developing imaging modalities has result in increased reporting about these lesions. However, the case of bilateral new lumbar intraspinal synovial cysts after laminectomy has been rarely reported. We report of a rare case with bilateral lumbar intraspinal synovial cysts after laminectomy, requir...

Diagnosis of bronchogenic cysts is possible with computed tomography, but half of all cases present as soft tissue densities. Two such cases are highlighted where asymptomatic bronchogenic cysts that presented as soft tissue masses were evaluated by endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). After studying the ultrasound image characteristics, the diagnosis was confirmed using EBUS-guided transbronchial ...

lymphoepithelial cyst of oral cavity is a rare cystic lesion that presents as an asymptomatic submucosal mass and is usually discovered during routine dental examinations. the site most commonly affected is floor of the mouth and tonsillar involvement seems to be very rare. multiple lymphoepithelial cysts have been reported in parotid of hiv positive patients however in oral cavity they usually...

OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to gain information about the ultrasonographic features of livers with cystic echinococcosis, as well as to evaluate the use of ultrasonography for diagnosis of such disease in sheep. DESIGN This was a retrospective study during the period April 2011 to March 2013. PARTICIPANTS A total of 22 Baladi sheep (aged three to six years) were included in th...

BACKGROUND A unified set of criteria for neurocysticercosis (NCC) has helped to standardize its diagnosis in different settings. METHODS Cysticercosis experts were convened to update current diagnostic criteria for NCC according to two principles: neuroimaging studies are essential for diagnosis, and all other information provides indirect evidence favoring the diagnosis. Recent diagnostic ad...

INTRODUCTION Fast-growing congenital hepatic cysts with intracystic hemorrhage are rare in clinical practice. Additionally, the clinical manifestations of and laboratory and imaging findings for this condition are often nonspecific and are particularly difficult to differentiate from those of hepatobiliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma, thus posing great challenges for diagnosis and treatm...

A 45-year-old woman was admitted because of abdominal pain and a feeling of fullness. Ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen showed a massively enlarged liver with hundreds of cysts and displacement of the right kidney. There were no cysts in the kidneys. Because several members of her family also had multiple cysts in the liver, the diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (PCLD...

Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the central nervous system caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. In the brain it occurs in two forms: parenchymal and extraparenchymal or racemose cysts. The clinical presentation of racemose cysts is pleomorphic, and is quite different from parenchymal cysticercosis. The clinical diagnosis of racemose cysts is quite challenging, wit...
