. Mediastinal cystic formations are well-shaped, often round that contain fluid and lined with epithelium. The main include congenital benign cysts (bronchogenic, duplicating the esophagus, neuroenteric, pericardial thymic cysts), meningocele, mature teratomas lymphangiomas. Many tumors (e.g., thymomas, Hodgkin's disease, germ cell tumors, mediastinal carcinomas, lymph node metastases, nerve ro...

SUMMARY‏ The non parasitic benign cysts of spleen are rare iesions and can he divided into two groups, primary and secondary. In the cysts in the primary group an epithelial lining is present. Secondary cysts are far more frequent, accounting for 80% of all splenic cyst. ln this article we report about an 23 year old girl admitted with LLQ pain and feeling of abdominal mass. After splenectomy ...

Multiple pilosebaceous cysts include the entities of steatocystoma multiplex and eruptive vellus hair cysts (EVHCs). Multiple pilosebaceous cysts are proposed to be one entity originating in the pilosebaceous duct, since steatocystoma multiplex and EVHCs are frequently present concomitantly and are caused by a cystic change in the same pilosebaceous duct. Here, we describe a patient with yellow...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether the analysis of cyst content using mean gray value (MGV) can discriminate ovarian endometriomas from other unilocular ovarian cysts in premenopausal women. METHODS Stored three-dimensional (3D) volumes from 54 unilocular ovarian cysts diagnosed in 50 premenopausal women (mean age, 37 (range, 22-50) years) were analyzed to calculate the MGV from cyst content. Cysts ...

we report a case of 48-year-old woman with multiple hydatid cysts in pararectal region and right paraovarian localization with an unusual sonographic and computed tomographic presentation mimicking a pelvic endometriosis. during laparotomy, multiple pararectal and right ovarian cysts resembling endometriosis were resected. pathologic examination gives the diagnosis of hydatid cysts. retrospecti...

The mesothelial cysts of the round ligament uterus are rare. They misdiagnosed as ovarian/ para ovarian cysts, inguinal hernias, abscess. We report a case 48-years-old female with gradual painless distension abdomen. Up on explorative laparotomy cyst was seen arising from right ligament. Excision cystic mass done and pathologically confirmed cyst. Establishing accurate per operative diagnosis b...

The presacral, or pararectal, space is a potential site for the formation of various cysts and tumors, since it contains variety embryonic tissues. Magnetic resonance imaging principal method diagnosis presacral cysts, endoscopic ultrasonography an auxiliary method. These masses are subject to surgical removal, even in cases asymptomatic course. paper presents successful experience treating 3 p...

Dermoid cysts or mature cystic teratoma present various and complex ultrasonographic aspects. That is why the ultrasonographic diagnosis may be diffi cult and lead to confusion. Yet, a thorough analysis of all ultrasound features that characterize dermoid cysts can lead in the vast majority of the cases to an exact diagnosis. The purpose of this paper is to present the ultrasonographic fi nding...
