Epidermoid cyst is commonly known as sebaceous cyst. It is the most commonly encountered cyst of the skin. Epidermoid cyst over the breast is uncommon. Punctum is the hallmark for clinical diagnosis. Local excision with primary closure is the treatment of choice. Biopsy is mandatory in giant cyst to exclude malignancy.

Mesenteric cyst is uncommonbenign lesion. Its etiology remains unknown. Mesenteric cyst may be asymptomatic or symptomatic. Treatment of the cyst is surgically excised. The cyst almost invariablyrecurs after surgery. The aim of this literature is to demonstrate a rare case of mesenteric cyst with literature reviews emphasizing on the clinical presentations and surgical treatment. ABBREVIATIONS ...

BACKGROUND An epidermoid cyst is a common epithelial-lined cyst. There have been many studies on epidermoid cysts, but few focused on ruptured epidermoid cyst and its histopathologic characteristics. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the histopathologic differences between ruptured and unruptured epidermoid cysts, and their relationships. METHODS We retrospectively examined 359 excision biopsy specime...

BACKGROUND Polycystin-2 (PC2), encoded by the gene that is mutated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), functions as a calcium (Ca(2+)) permeable ion channel. Considerable controversy remains regarding the subcellular localization and signaling function of PC2 in kidney cells. METHODS We investigated the subcellular PC2 localization by immunocytochemistry and confocal micr...
