The clinical and radiological differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the submandibular region can be difficult. We report an unusual case of a submandibular salivary duct cyst mimicking an external laryngocele on presentation by appearing to expand on Valsalva manoeuvre, and where computed tomography (CT) scanning was unhelpful in reaching a diagnosis. We present the case, discuss the theories of pathogenesis, and review the literature on the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in the submandibular region.

ABSTRACT A 14 mo old pug was referred because of a large space occupying mass within the thoracic cavity. The patient was worked up with thoracic radiographs, cytology, and computed tomography. The most likely differential diagnosis was thymoma; therefore, a median sternotomy was performed, and the mass was bluntly dissected from the adjacent tissues. The patient recovered uneventfully from surgery and was discharged the next day. Histopathology diagnosed a thymoma with central cystic lesions. Thymomas usually occur in elderly patients and these patients are usually presented because of paraneoplastic signs. The age and signs at presentation, as well as the histopathologic appearance of the presented patient is quite atypical. According to telephone follow-ups, the patient was doing well 9 mo postoperatively.

Non-neoplastic cysts of the salivary glands are uncommon and represent 2-5% of all salivary gland lesions. They are mainly mucoceles or salivary duct cysts. Unlike a mucocele, which is surrounded by granulation tissue, the salivary duct cyst is lined by epithelium. Salivary duct cysts are more common in the oral minor salivary glands and rarely occur in the major salivary glands, show a marked predilection for the superficial lobe of the parotid, and represent 10% of all salivary gland cysts. Neoplastic differentiation of the lining of the salivary duct cyst has been reported. We report a case of a salivary duct cyst of the left parotid gland, with a review of radiographic and histopathologic features.

Background: Ecchino coccosis or hydatid cyst disease is a common parasitic disease that is known to affect bothhumans and animals and is an important health problem in poorly developed countries. Objectives: In this histopathological retrospectivestudy, we aimed to evaluate hydatid cyst disease occurring at different sites of body and were diagnosed during last fifteen years inpathology department, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS), Jamshoro from January 1996 to December 2010.Study Design: Descriptive retrospective study. Materials: A total of 80 cases of hydatid cyst disease of different organs diagnosed atpathology department LUMHS Jamshoro and retrieved from Histopathological record. Results: Out of these 80 cases, 56 cases (70%)were of liver, 8 (10%) of lung, 5 (6.25%) of ovary. 01 case (1.2%) thyroid, 02 cases (2.5%) submandibular region and 8 (10%) eachoccurring at thigh, forearm, palm, cheek and fronto-temporal region. Majority of cases seen in females and M/F ratio of 1:3.6 and with agerange of 8-65 years. More than 50% of cases were seen between 30-65 years of age. Conclusion: Hydatid cyst of liver was mostcommon site followed by lung. But it can also be included in differential diagnosis of solitary cystic lesions of ovary and thyroid as well.
