Congenital cystic lesions in head and neck

<p class="abstract">In this case report a bony swelling was noticed clinically which had a cystic presentation in CT imaging. After surgical removal it was sent for histopathological examination and was diagnosed as dermoid cyst. Dermoid cyst is rarely encountered lesions of head and neck region so most frequently misdiagnosed. Though this lesion is very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis while evaluation cystic lesions of head and neck region.</p>

Histological Features

Hidrocystomas are benign cystic lesions which arise from the secretory part of sweat glands. Hidrocystomas can be either eccrine or apocrine and are often found in the head and neck region. In this paper we present a case of a large congenital hidrocystoma of the lower eyelid in a patient with possible orofacial digital syndrome (ODS). A special feature in our case was the presentation of bone remodeling of the anterior surface of the maxilla. The basic clinical and histological features of hidrocystomas are also reviewed.

Abstract. The frequency of detection of cystic lesions of the head and neck in dental patients of the maxillofacial department of the Vinnitsya Regional Clinical Hospital named after N.I. Pirogov on the basis of a retrospective analysis of the hospital’s archival materials for five years was determined. The structure of the cysts of the maxillofacial region with the correlation of age and gender indicators is described. Key words: frequency, cyst, retrospective analysis, correlation.

Common Diagnosis

Background: Many non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions are encountered as cystic lesions of head and neck depending on the patient’s age and anatomical site. Value of FNAC in preoperative diagnosis of these lesions has been established in various study.Materials and Methods: The study was performed in 333 patients that presented as cystic lesions of head and neck at Department of Pathology, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Institute of Medicine, Kathmandu, Nepal from July 2013 to June 2014.RESULTS: Cystic lesions in head and neck accounted for 11.35% of all FNACs. The median age of the patients was 31 years and the majority of the patients were in the age group of 21-30 years with slight female predilection. Lateral neck was the most common site with lymph node (31.9%) the most common organ of involvement. Tuberculous lymphadenitis was the most common diagnosis with 21% of cases, followed by colloid goiter with cystic change and epidermal cyst. Pus was the most common aspiration finding. Sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in diagnosing malignancy was 83.3% and 100% respectivelyCONCLUSION: A significant number and wide variety of lesions present as cystic lesions of head and neck. FNAC is useful and cost effective tool to classify, diagnose and rule out malignancy in these cases.

Meta Analyses

Objective The role of sclerotherapy for vascular lesions of the head and neck is well established. However, the efficacy of sclerotherapy for benign cystic lesions of the head and neck is less clear. The objective of this review is to determine the efficacy and safety of sclerotherapy for benign cystic lesions of the head and neck. Data Sources PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Embase. Review Methods The PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Systems for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) were followed for this systematic review. Studies of patients with benign head and neck cystic masses treated primarily with sclerotherapy were included. Thirty-two studies met criteria for inclusion. Results A total of 474 cases of sclerotherapy were reviewed. Agents comprised OK-432, ethanol, doxycycline, tetracycline, and bleomycin. Lesions in the analysis were ranula, thyroglossal duct cyst, branchial cleft cyst, benign lymphoepithelial cyst, parotid cyst, thoracic duct cyst, and unspecified lateral neck cyst. A total of 287 patients (60.5%) had a complete response; 132 (27.9%) had a partial response; and 55 (11.6%) had no response. OK-432 was the most widely utilized agent, with a higher rate of complete response than that of ethanol (62.0% vs 39.4%, P = .015). Fifty-three cases (11.2%) required further surgical management. One case of laryngeal edema was reported and managed nonoperatively. Conclusion Sclerotherapy appears to be a safe and efficacious option for benign cystic lesions if malignancy is reliably excluded. Efficacy rates are comparable to those of sclerotherapy for vascular malformations. The rate of serious complications is low, with 1 incident of airway edema reported in the literature.
