Epidermal inclusion cysts are common benign cutaneous cysts which arise from hair follicles. These cysts usually present as asymptomatic, small, smooth, firm, round, slow growing swellings on hair bearing areas such as scalp, face, neck and trunk. Epidermal inclusion cysts are easily diagnosed by their clinical features. However, trichilemmal cyst, dermoid cyst, neurofibroma, hemangioma, lipoma and liposarcoma should also be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of cutaneous cystic lesions. As malignant transformation of epidermal inclusion cysts has been reported, histopathological evaluation of epidermal inclusion cysts is mandatory in order to rule out malignancy. Moreover, giant epidermal inclusion cysts with ulceration, rapid growth, resistance to treatment, recurrence and fistula drainage may have malignant potential. Therefore, epidermal cysts should be surgically removed. There are several different types of surgical techniques to remove cutaneous cysts. A proper surgical technique should facilitate the complete removal of the cyst wall to prevent recurrence. In addition, it should provide minimal scarring and a low wound infection rate. Epidermal inclusion cysts can be easily removed surgically with squeeze technique. In this technique, the cyst is squeezed out through a small incision using both index fingers. Thus, the cyst is not ruptured. The squeeze technique allows the cyst capsule to remain intact. Therefore, the risk of wound infection, recurrence and scar formation is minimized. Hereby, we present a 48-year-old male with multiple epidermal inclusion cysts on the scalp treated surgically with squeeze technique.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate whether an extended course of prophylactic antibiotic could reduce the wound infection rate in a subtropical country. Fifty-three consecutive cases scheduled to receive major head and neck operations were randomised into one-day or three-day prophylactic antibiotic groups. Thirteen cases (24.5 per cent) developed wound infections after operations. The duration of prophylactic antibiotic was not related to the surgical wound infection. However, pre-operative haemoglobulin less than 10.5 g/dl (odds ratio: 7.24, 95 per cent confidence interval: 1.28–41.0) and reconstruction with a free flap or pectoris major myocutaneous flap during the operation (odds ratio: 11.04, 95 per cent confidence interval: 1.17–104.7) were associated factors significantly influencing post-operative wound infection. Therefore, one day of prophylactic antibiotic was effective in major head and neck procedures but should not be substituted for proper aseptic and meticulous surgical techniques.

Oral mucocele is a benign cystic exophytic lesion affecting the minor salivary gland and is especially present in pediatric patients (3% under 14 years). It is characterized by an extravasation or retention of fluid or mucus in the submucosal tissue of the minor salivary glands. Several surgical techniques have been proposed over the years, including the excision of the mucocele by using the injection of a hydrocolloid impression material in the light of the cyst to prevent the collapse of the cystic wall and solidify the lesion, resulting in a better cleavage plan. The combined clinical approach between the combination of Shira’s technique and the surgical excision of the cystic lesion results in a conservative surgical removal of the lesion. Here, we reported the removal of a labial mucocele in a 14-year-old male patient, using the injection of a hydrocolloid impression material. At a 12 months follow up, the patient showed complete healing of the surgical site, showing a pinkish lip lining mucosa without scarring or recurrence of the primary lesion. The combined therapeutic approach between Shira’s technique and surgical excision allows a safe and predictable excision of the labial mucocele, minimizing the risk of recurrence.

Abstract Background Hidradenoma papilliferum is a rare benign neoplasm arising from apocrine glands. It occurs commonly on the anogenital region of middle-aged women. It usually presents as a slow growing, solitary asymptomatic, skin colored or red nodule less than 1 cm in diameter. Case presentation The case is a 38-year-old, white woman who presented with a painful nodule occurring within a month in the himenal region of the posterior vaginal introitus. The nodule was excisied and the histology revealed a hidradenoma papilliferum. The diagnosis and treatment of hidradenoma papilliferum is possible with surgical removal and histopathological evaluation of nodules. Conclusion When an adult woman presents with a noduler lesion in the anogenital area, sexually transmitted diseases and other benign and malignant vulvar lesions, as well as malignant transformation is very rare but,should be kept in mind; however because it has been reported and long-term clinical follow-up is suggested

A myopericytoma in the auricle is rare. If an auricle contains a large, firm, red-brown mass, excision should be considered because the mass may be a myopericytoma. After excision, histopathological and immunohistochemical diagnoses are essential to rule out malignancy. Long-term follow-up is required because the tumor is slow-growing.

Background: Historically surgery for nodes in carcinoma penis was done as staged procedure due to fear of higher morbidity and longer hospital stay. However, in view of the established safety of the simultaneous procedure, very few centres do simultaneous surgery for nodes and primary in cancer penis.Methods: A retrospective analysis of all the simultaneous surgeries for nodes and primary for carcinoma penis done at our hospital, during the period April 2015 to March 2017 were done and various parameters were calculated and compared with historical standards of various series.Results: The various parameters namely wound morbidity, hospital stay and complications were analysed and compared with historical standards. A total of 15 patients during the above mentioned were found to be suitable for the analysis after having excluded patients who had previous therapy and inoperable tumours. The mean follows up period was 12 months (ranging from 8 to 20 months). The mean hospital stay was 15 days (range from 12 days to 25 days). The skin margin necrosis rate was 6.67%, wound infection rate was 6.67% and there were no perioperative deaths. The same was compared with historical standards.Conclusions: Simultaneous surgery for primary and nodes in carcinoma penis is safe and the standard results are reproducible in a rural tertiary medical centre like ours.

<p class="abstract">Schwannoma are slow growing tumours, which can arise from any peripheral nerve. 10% of schwannomas that occur in the head and neck region mostly originate from the vagus or sympathetic nervous system. Extracranial schwannomas in the head and neck region are rare neoplasm. Intraoral schwannoma are only 1% of the all head and neck tumours. Diagnosis is established by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, while FNAC is used to rule out other conditions. We report a rare case of lingual schwannomas generally present as a painless lump schwannoma of the tongue in a 27-year-old male complaining of asymptomatic swelling over a posterolateral surface of the tongue, treated by complete surgical excision. The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical examination. We report a rare case of schwannoma over the posterolateral surface of tongue. Prognosis is good for the patient when this condition is correctly diagnosed as the condition rarely recurs after complete resection.</p>

Proliferative Disease

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) in its advanced stage is a leading cause of blindness and visual impairment. Despite efforts at early detection of DR, disease monitoring, and medical therapy, significant proportions of people living with diabetes still progress to develop the advanced proliferative disease, which is characterized by neovascularization, actively proliferating fibrovascular membranes, and retinal traction. The surgical removal of this proliferating tissue and the treatment of the retinal ischemic drive can be very rewarding, providing significant stability of the retina and in several cases improved retinal anatomy and vision. Diabetic vitrectomy comprises a broad range of surgical techniques and maneuvers, which offer the surgeon and patient opportunity to reverse deranged vitreoretinal anatomy and improve or stabilizes vision. Advances in vitreoretinal technology have contributed greatly to more recent improved outcomes; it is expected that future advances will offer even more benefit.

Important Structure

The lingual brake is an important structure for the musculoskeletal growth of the baby's jaws, inuencing the act of sucking, speaking and feeding. There is an alteration called ankyloglossia (Ankylos: Linked and Glossa: Tongue), dened as a congenital malformation that alters mobility and lingual function. Brake change occurs when a portion of the tissue that should have suffered apoptosis during embryonic development remains on the underside of the tongue, restricting its movement. The lingual brake is formed by a connective tissue rich in elastic bers, lined with nonkeratinized stratied paved epithelium, containing adipose cells, muscle bers and blood vessels. Any anatomical or functional brake deciency can have an impact on functions based on their severity. Its diagnosis is not difcult, as it is very visible and can be done through the "Tongue Test". Surgical removal of the brake is necessary when it causes gingival retraction, diastema, hindering orthodontic, speech therapist, prosthetic and aesthetic treatment. It is advisable to wait for the individual's growth process, especially between 6 months and 6 years of life. The treatment performed for this anomaly is the frenectomy, which consists in the complete removal of the brake insert. The objective of the present study was to conduct a research that evaluated the lingual brake of children, and the need for surgical treatment at the pediatric dentistry clinic at Amazon Faculty - IAES through a questionnaire. It was a cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study, which evaluated the lingual brake of children. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using the statistical data program. The software used for data analysis was Epi Info version 7.2.2.6 for windows. It was concluded that of the 50 lingual brakes evaluated, 14% presented alteration, with a preference for females. It was clear the need for an early diagnosis, besides the need for a multidisciplinary team
