Rudolf Virchow is considered to be the first scientist to have used the word sebaceous cyst. It was thought that these lesions occurred due to retention of sebaceous secretion consequent to obstruction of sebaceous ducts of sebaceous glands, although that was found not to be the case. In all these cysts, the cavity is filled with keratin. There are six types of keratin-filled cysts, namely, epi...

Background: Preoperative differentiation of histologic etiology of sellar lesions is of profound clinical importance because it determines the use of surgery versus nonsurgical technique, transsphenoidal versus transcranial routes and the degree of surgical resection. Objective: We provide an overview of the most relevant magnetic resonance imaging characteristics together with clinical finding...

INTRODUCTION Dermoid cysts are one of the most frequently occurring ovarian cysts; parasitic dermoid cysts, however, are extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 29-year-old Japanese woman with an incidental finding of an adnexal mass on bimanual examination. Sonographic imaging reported an 8 cm mass in the Pouch of Douglas. This was found to be a parasitic dermoid cyst and was...

Dermoid cysts are rare lesions, particularly in children. Chiari II malformations are seen in patients with myelomeningocele. Here, we present a child with Chiari II malformation who, during a Chiari II decompression, was found to have a dermoid cyst. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such case ever reported.

Vaginal dermoid cyst is a rare condition. Ultrasound is the investigative tool and treatment is surgical through a transvaginal approach.

A 37-year-old female, weighing 194.1 kg, is described. Her gross obesity was in part due to a massive ovarian dermoid cyst weighing at least 42 kg, which had been overlooked in the past. A dermoid tumour of this size has not previously been reported. The possible presence of cystic ovarian tumours should be considered in patients presenting with severe generalized obesity.

Dermoid cysts are extremely rare in the urinary bladder and can pose a diagnostic dilemma to both the Urologist and the Histopathologist. Only a few cases were found documented and cited in PubMed. We present a case of dermoid cyst in the urinary bladder presenting as a bladder stone with a brief review of the literature.

Dermoid cysts are benign congenital tumours of ectoderm origin usually arising from the midline where fusion embryonic structures both sides occurs. They true hamartomas focal malformations that can resemble neoplasms grossly and even microscopically. We hereby presented a case 25 year old male with complaints neck swelling for 5 years which was found just beneath symbol tattooed in skin overly...
