BACKGROUND AND AIM The aim of this study was to elucidate the risk of subsequent biliary malignancy in patients undergoing cyst excision for congenital choledochal cysts. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 94 patients who had undergone cyst excision for congenital choledochal cysts was conducted. The median age at the time of cyst excision and median follow-up time after cyst excision were 7...

Introduction: Choledochal cysts in adults are commonly associated with hepatobiliary pathology and complications of previous cyst related procedures. Portal hypertension is a rare complication of choledochal cyst. The treatment of choledochal cyst complicated by portal hypertension has evolved from internal drainage of cysts to single stage excision of cyst with bilio­enteric anastomosis. Case ...

Odontogenic cysts constitute a major part of oral pathological lesions, but little is known about their distribution patterns in various populations. In this retrospective study, patient records from the archive of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology at the Faculty of Dentistry affiliated to the Tehran University of Medical Sciences were reviewed. Cases diagnosed as odontogenic c...

The diagnosis and the treatment of twisted ovarian tumors are still challenging, especially in adolescent girls. We describe an girl with a cyst, whom emergent laparoscopic surgery was successful. She visited us due to severe abdominal pain. Ultrasound revealed large cystic mass, indicative cyst. Laparoscopy left cyst on its axis. punctured detorsed it. lessons learned here are: sudden-onset pa...

Nasopalatine duct cyst is the nonodontogenic developmental cyst, frequently occurring in the midline of the anterior maxillary region. The clinical presentation of the cyst is often varied and presents a diagnostic difficulty and frequently misdiagnosed as developmental or inflammatory odontogenic cystic lesion. This paper represents a large infected nasopalatine duct cyst presenting with compl...

A 10-month-old Japanese black heifer was diagnosed as having an intra-abdominal cyst using computed tomography (CT). Through a posterior ventral midline incision, the cyst was removed, and the heifer completely recovered after the surgery. CT scans enabled detection of the intra-abdominal cyst and measurements of the diameter of the cyst before the surgery.

A hydatid cyst is an endemic disease in our country. Clinical manifestation includes cyst formation, most commonly in the liver and lungs. Renal, brain, and subcuteneous localizations are rare. Here we report four cases: two cases of primary renal hydatid disease, one of intracranial hydatid cyst, and one of subcutaneous hydatid cyst. We discuss the prevalence, diagnostic workup, and management...

A simple bone cyst in the upper end of the humerus presents a common surgical problem. lt is usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence because of a pathological fracture. Rarely the cyst heals after fracture; usually it persists and needs surgical treatment if the risk of recurrent fractures is to be avoided. Curettage of the cyst and packing of the cavity with bone chips is the usual treat...

Serious symptoms caused by intra-cystic bleeding are very rare. We describe a case of a maxillary cyst presenting with mid-facial deformity in a Japanese woman. She underwent bilateral Caldwell-Luc procedure 21 years earlier and suffered left cheek trauma 4 years earlier. She presented soon after the trauma complaining of left mid-facial deformity, and computed tomography showed a trilocular cy...

A 55yearold man was hospitalized for evaluation of cystic lesion at the pancreas tail (Figure 1). The presumed diagnosis of the pancreatic cyst was pseudocyst because it was a unilocular cyst with debris inside, and the patient was a chronic alcoholic with a recent history of acute pancreatitis. Since the patient had no symptom related with the cyst, he was followed up with alternative CT scan ...
