BACKGROUND Bronchogenic cysts are not uncommon in either children or adults. In children, they comprise approximately 6% of all mediastinal masses. Their presentation can range from an asymptomatic incidental finding to sudden respiratory distress. CASE REPORT Video-assisted thoracoscopy was utilized to remove a bronchogenic cyst that was densely adherent to the adjacent esophagus in a child....

background: splenic cysts are known as rare clinical encounter. classifying into primary (true) and secondary cysts (pseudocysts), true cysts contain cellular epithelial lining and subdivided into parasitic and non-parasitic cysts. this study aimed to determine the outcome of treatment in patients with splenic cyst. methods: all patients with splenic cyst who had been treated in department of g...

introduction: aneurysmal bone cysts (abc) are extremely rare in the head and neck region and even rarer in sinuses.  abc is a benign multicystic mass that is locally-destructive and rapidly expandable. hemorrhagic fluid content (like in this case) and septated appearance are the characteristic feature of abc. established treatment options for abcs include sclerotherapy, embolization, radiothera...

bronchogenic cyst is a result of abnormal development   of the ventral foregut presents as a discrete mass. most commonly, it is appeared in the middle mediastinum and rarely is seen in adults. we report a 35-year-old woman who was asymptomatic and incidentally was found with a mass in chest radiograph.

in cases of congenital esophageal stenosis due to tracheobronchial remnants, symptoms of partial esophageal obstruction appear at the time of weaning or during early childhood. in the absence of esophagitis, esophagram combined with cinefluoroscopy demonstrates fixed stenosis of distal esophagus and appears to be diagnostic. dilatation of rigid stenosis is invariably unrewarding and surgical re...

The incidence of mucous and ciliated cells in epithelial linings was examined among odontogenic inflammatory cysts (radicular cysts) and developmental cysts (dentigerous and primordial cysts). Mucous cells were found in 20.8% of all cysts examined, while ciliated cells were found in 11.4%; however, ciliated cells were always accompanied by mucous cells. The incidence of mucous cells in radicula...

Choledochal cysts are a congenital anomaly, and they show dilatation of the intraor extrahepatic biliary tree. These cysts are uncommon in Western countries, but are not rare in Asian countries. Choledochal cysts are classified into five groups based on location or shape of the cysts. Types I and IV-A cysts are the most common types, which are associated with anomalous pancreaticobiliary juncti...

Popliteal cysts, or Baker cysts, are considered rare in children and may exhibit particular features, as compared with adults. We studied data from 80 paediatric patients with 55 Baker cysts, examined over a period of 7 years, and correlated clinical presentation with findings on ultrasonography and MRI. Prevalence of popliteal cysts was 57% in arthritic knees, 58% with hypermobility syndrome, ...

a 10 year old boy presented with swelling on the temporal side of the left eyebrow since birth. with the diagnosis of angular dermoid, we chose subcutaneous endoscopic excision for its treatment, as direct excision of dermoid cysts of the eyebrow might have caused a prominent facial scar for him, which can be completely avoided with an endoscopic approach that places the incision in the hair-be...
