Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) is a genetic disorder typically characterized by pulmonary cysts, cutaneous fibrofolliculomas, and renal tumors. We report case of an 87-year-old male patient with known diagnosis BHD large pericardial cyst who presented to the emergency room chest pain. classically associated cysts not cysts. In this report, we highlight potential independently cause retrosternal ...

We describe a consecutive series of 26 patients with simple bone cysts who were treated by curettage, multiple drilling and continuous decompression by the insertion of either a cannulated screw or a pin. In the first 15 patients we used titanium cannulated screws (group 1) and in the next 11 a cannulated hydroxyapatite pin (group 2). Satisfactory healing was achieved in 12 patients in group 1 ...

Introduction: The role of erythropoietin (EPO) in patients with renal cysts remains unclear. Some authors suggest that EPO may be produced in renal cysts (RC). The aim of the study was to answer the question why concentration of EPO in the cystic fluid (fEPO) is higher than the serum level of EPO. Material and methods: Serum levels of EPO (sEPO) and cystic fluid levels of EPO (fEPO) were determ...

Background: Functional ovarian cysts include follicular, corpus luteum, and theca lutein cysts are the most common adenexal masses (about 50%) in women of reproductive age. Treatment with the combined monophasic oral contraceptives reduces functional ovarian cysts. Yaz (drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol) is a low-dose combined oral contraceptive pill containing 20 μg ethinyl estradiol and 3 mg dro...
