Abstract Dermoid and epidermoid cysts are among the most common orbital tumors, comprising 3% to 9% of all orbital masses. We report a rare case of upper medial orbital epidermoid cyst of a 2-year-old patient. The patient was complaining of pain in the right eye and infrequent vomiting. The neurological and radiographic examinations showed no pathological findings, only after CT scan was performed a tumor formation was found. After the extirpation a histological examination was performed proving the diagnosis.

Exact Size

Epidermoid cysts are a rare entity in the oral cavity and are even less frequent in the floor of the mouth, representing less than 0.01% of all the cases. We present the case of a 3-year-old girl with a growth in the floor of the mouth with 2 months of evolution and without changes since it was discovered by her parents. The lesion was asymptomatic; it did not cause dysphagia, dyspnea, or any other alteration. A CT scan with contrast was done which revealed the location and exact size of the lesion, allowing an intraoral approach for its excision. The histological examination confirmed the clinical speculation of an epidermoid cyst.

Repeated Aspiration

Spinal epidermoid cysts are rare lesions and epidermoid cyst in intramedullary location is even rarer. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment; however, in cases of recurrence, repeat surgery becomes quite difficult. Treatment of recurrent intramedullary epidermoid cyst by surgery alone is a challenge. We managed one such rare case with repeated aspiration and sclerotherapy. Here, we have highlighted hypertonic saline sclerotherapy as a promising tool to treat recurrent spinal epidermoid cysts.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of congenital cholesteatoma affecting the occipital bone.Methods:We present a case report, plus a review of the world literature on similar lesions.Results:This case report describes the presentation and treatment of a congenital cholesteatoma arising in an apparently unique location within the occipital bone, with no effect on middle-ear structure or function. The different imaging characteristics of this lesion are described and illustrated. The discussion centres on the differentiation of this lesion from intradiploic epidermoid cysts, more commonly described in the neurosurgical literature. The possible methods of pathogenesis are discussed, along with treatment suggestions.Conclusion:Congenital cholesteatomas and intradiploic epidermoid cysts are indistinguishable both histologically and radiologically, and would appear to be the same disease.

Abstract We present a case of a 48-year-old male patient who was admitted in our clinic for right nasal obstruction, antero-posterior mucopurulent rhinorrhea, recurrent right micro-epistaxis, hyposmia, cacosmia and right hemicrania. ENT findings and CT scan detects proliferative, polylobate, vascularized tumor formation occupying the right nasal nostril, with muco-purulent secretions lining the tumor formation. The tumor pushes the intersinusal wall to the side and the nasal septum to the contralateral nostril. The apparent origin is at the level of the right middle nasal meatus, but we could not identify a clear limit from the nasopharynx lateral and posterior wall. Resection of the entire tumor formation was performed under endoscopic control. The histopathological outcome revealed undifferentiated carcinoma; immunohistochemical tests were performed and support the myoepithelial origins.

Spinal Epidural

Background: Spinal epidermoid accounts for <1% of all primary spinal cord tumors. They occur due to the invagination of epidermal elements into the neural tube during the embryonic period. Even more infrequent are spinal epidermoid cysts that occur without attendant spinal dysraphism (e.g., as occurs with the iatrogenic inoculation of epithelial cells in the subarachnoid space following a lumbar puncture). Case Description: A 38-year-old female with a history of epidural spinal blocks at L2-3 for two previous pregnancies presented with low back pain, right lower extremity weakness (4/5 level), hyporeflexia, and tingling/ numbness in the right L3-5 distribution. The lumbar MR demonstrated an intradural extramedullary lesion at the L2-L3 level that compressed the cauda equina/nerve roots. MR findings were compatible with an epidermoid cyst, this was histologically confirmed following a microsurgical L2-3 laminectomy for lesion resection. Pathologically, the lesion demonstrated a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium with keratin content without cutaneous attachments, thus confirming the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst. Postoperatively, her sensory complains improved and her motor strength fully recovered to the 5/5 level. Conclusion: Patients with spinal epidermoid cysts typically present with underlying spinal dysraphism, but only rarely do iatrogenic cases arise. Here, we presented a patient who developed a spinal lumbar epidermoid cyst in a female patient after undergoing spinal epidural anesthesia during pregnancy. Notably, this was successfully treated a with decompressive laminectomy and microsurgical resection.

Abstract In this case report we are presenting a rare case of primary pulmonary plasmacytoma in a dog in the context of clinical and pathological findings. A six-years-old, female Rottweiler was brought to the clinic with respiratory complaints. The patient was dyspneic and tachypneic, and there were friction sounds on auscultation of the lungs. Laryngeal and tracheal palpation induced severe cough. Lateral and ventrodorsal radiographs of the thorax showed increased opacity in the lungs and loss of cardiac silhouette. Based on clinical and radiological findings, diagnosis of a lung mass was made and surgery recommended. Under general anesthesia, bilobectomy of the right lung lobes by medial sternotomy was performed. Upon cytological and histopathological findings, plasmacytoma was diagnosed.

Pericardial tuberculoma is a rare complication of tuberculous pericarditis. It may mimic a compressive mediastinal mass, often misinterpreted as a mediastinal tumour. Since, it arises from the pericardium, pericardial tuberculoma invariably compresses structures of the heart and may present with features of either-sided heart failure depending on the side of the compression. Hereby, the authors present a case of a 52-year-old woman with progressive difficulty in breathing and symptoms of right-sided heart failure as well as clinical signs of impending cardiac tamponade following a history of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. Echocardiogram examination revealed a mass compressing the right side of the heart but was inconclusive of the mass origin. CT Scan of the chest showed a mass arising from the pericardium. The mass was later surgically excised. Histopathology confirmed pericardial tuberculosis and a diagnosis of a pericardial tuberculoma was reached. Patient’s heart failure symptoms regressed after surgery and she was discharged to continue with anti-tuberculosis regime. This report discusses the inclusion of pericardial tuberculoma in the differential diagnoses of cardiac compressing masses, particularly in tuberculosis endemic areas and emphasise on prompt CT Scan imaging when echocardiogram is inconclusive.

Thymic Cysts

Thymic cysts are a rare abnormality accounting for 1%&ndash;3% of all mediastinal masses. In most cases, they are asymptomatic and localized in the anterior mediastinum. Despite their benign nature, the presence of a mass is an indication for surgery to obtain a histological conclusion and reliably exclude an oncological process. Epidermoid cysts are rare and only a few cases are described in the literature. In our case report, we present a rare case of examination and treatment of a patient with a large anterior mediastinum mass, which, according to the results of histology, was an epidermoid cyst of the thymus.

Histological Results

A patient underwent nephroureterectomy for transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis (pT3 G3 N0 M0). After 5 years a CT scan showed a retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, suspected of being a metastasis. Histological examination of the surgically-removed lymph node showed seminoma. Palpation of the testes was negative. Testicular ultrasonography showed three hypoechoic areas in the right testis. Orchiectomy was subsequently performed and the histological examination of the testis confirmed the presence of seminoma (pT1).

ABSTRACT Epidermoid cysts are common lesions, but malignant transformation of their epithelium is rare. There are few case reports in the literature concerning malignant transformation of an epidermal cyst into squamous cell carcinoma. Two epidermoid cysts occurring simultaneously in the neck is rare and not a single case report is available in the literature. One of the cysts transforming into squamous cell carcinoma and the other showing atypical changes is still the rarest and not reported till date. We present a case of two epidermal inclusion cysts in a patient out of which there were atypical changes in one cyst and other cyst showed squamous cell carcinoma.
