A two-year-old male German shepherd dog was admitted to Shahid Bahonar Veterinary Hospital with clinical signs that included lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, abdominal pain and dehydration. Physical examination revealed nothing significant. Routine paraclinical tests only revealed a stress leukogram. Radiography revealed a mass in the stomach. Whilst performing a laparotomy, the surgeon observed a...

The complete resection of intracavernous sinus dermoid cysts is very difficult due to tumor tissue adherence to important anatomical structures such as the internal carotid artery (ICA), cavernous sinus, and cranial nerves. As residual dermoid cyst tissue sometimes induces symptoms and repeat surgery may be required after cyst recurrence, minimal invasiveness is an important consideration when ...

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is characterized by the failure in segmentation of two or more vertebrae due to an abnormal division of the mesodermal somites and has been reported to be associated with cardiac and central nervous system anomalies. We report a rare occurrence of concurrent Klippel-Feil anomaly, tethering and dermoid cyst of dorsal spine masquerading Potts’ disease in an eighteen ye...

Dermal sinus tracts are formed during the 26th day of gestation from the incomplete closure of cutaneous ectoderm from neural ectoderm.1-5 As remnants of incomplete neural tube closure, they are often associated with dermoid and epidermoid cysts, spinal cord tethering and spinal fluid drainage.1,2,6-8 As such, dermal sinus tracts are diagnosed during early childhood.2,8 These entities most freq...

Background and Importance: Conus medullaris dermoid cysts are benign lesions, usually observed in the lumbosacral region of ​​ the spinal canal. Such lesions are often associated with congenital dermal sinus tracts and spinal dysraphism. Case Presentation: We reported a 37-year-old man with progressive paralysis in left lower limb distal presented to our clinic. The MRI of the lumbar spine, as...

Typical dermoid cysts are well-circumscribed fat-density masses with no associated contrast enhancement; rarely, they may appear hyperattenuating on CT scan. CT hyperattenuating dermoid cyst (CHADC) is very uncommon, with only nine case reports in the literature update, which occurs exclusively in the posterior fossa. CHADC with mural nodule is extremely rare and, to the best of our knowledge, ...

Introduction: Dermoid cysts are congenital anomalies that arise from trapped pouches of the ectoderm near the normal fold or from the surface that has failed to separate from the neural tube. Dermoid cysts are very rare in head and neck area and its presence in postauricular region is further exceptionally rare. Only a few cases have been reported. In this study, a rare case of recurrent dermoi...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the association between reproductive, contraceptive, and menstrual factors and risk of benign ovarian tumours. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a case-control study carried out in six London Hospitals. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used. SUBJECTS 62 women with a benign epithelial ovarian neoplasm, 37 women with a functional ovarian cyst,...

Background Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare tumors of congenital origin. We report a case of a large dermoid tumor arising in the infratemporal fossa (ITF) with erosion into the middle cranial fossa. After reviewing the literature, we believe this represents the first reported dermoid tumor of the ITF with extension into the middle cranial fossa. Results A 21-year-old women presented with a ...

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...
