Pulmonary hydatid disease with Echinococcus granulosus is rare. A 14 year old boy presented to our institute with left sided chest pain, mucopurulent productive cough, fever and breathlessness. Chest x-ray and computed tomography scan revealed unilateral multiple giant cysts suggestive of hydatid cysts. With left thoracotomy both the cysts were removed and no daughter cysts were found. Histopat...

Digestive tract contents and feces of blackbirds were examined for cysts of Heterodera glycines, the soybean cyst nematode. Birds fed under laboratory conditions and trapped in naturally-infested fields were checked. Infective larvae were recovered from cysts in the excrement of birds 24 and 48 hr after they were fed cysts. Birds that were force-fed eggs and larvae discharged infective larvae i...

Congenital and acquired abnormalities of the reproductive tract of female sheep resulting in subfertility,infertility or sterility cannot easily be detected by routine clinical examination. Morphopathologicalabnormalities of the reproductive tract of ewes were studied by examining a total of 739 genital tracts inabattoirs of Fars province, Iran. From these, the 648 non-pregnant genitalia were e...

Few data are available about hydatid cysts in patients with malignancy; however, these have rarely been described in association with leukemia. The purpose of this report was to present an unusual case of coexisting leukemia and pulmonary hydatid cysts.This study presented a 13-year-old boy with acute myeloid leukemia who was diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary hydatid cysts after the completion...

BACKGROUND Iris cysts in children are uncommon and there is relatively little information on their classification, incidence, and management. METHODS The records of all children under age 20 years who were diagnosed with iris cyst were reviewed and the types and incidence of iris cysts of childhood determined. Based on these observations recommendations were made regarding management of iris ...

BACKGROUND This study was aimed to evaluate the prevalence of metaplastic changes in the epithelium of radicular cysts and to investigate how they relate to the clinical and radiographic characteristics of the cysts, based on a large series of radicular cysts. MATERIAL AND METHODS Biopsies of cysts of endodontic origin that were examined at the Department of Oral Pathology between 2004 and 20...

BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder that results in the growth of cysts in the kidneys and other organs. Multisystemic involvement is common including affection of the central nervous system with cerebral aneurysms and arachnoid cysts. METHODS This is a prospective cohort study to investigate the prevalence and growth rate of arachnoid cyst...

Several factors were studied to determine their effects on hatch and emergence of second-stage juveniles (J2) from cysts of Heterodera zeae. The optimum temperature for emergence of J2 from cysts of H. zeae was 30 C. No juveniles emerged from cysts at 10 or 40 C. Immersion of cysts in 4 mM zinc chloride solution stimulated 10% greater emergence of J2 than occurred in tap water controls during 2...

Vaginal cysts are rare, particularly in the newborn. They usually present as one of these three entities in the newborn: paraurethral cysts (Skene duct cysts), Gartner duct cysts (mesonephric ductal remnants) or a covered ectopic ureter. Abdominal ultrasound should always be included in the clinical evaluation in search of renal anomalies. We report two cases of Gartner cysts in neonates.
