1/4150. Palliative sclerosis of intra-abdominal cystic ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma.Three patients with platinum- and paclitaxel-resistant predominantly cystic intra-abdominal recurrences of ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma were treated with CT-guided percutaneous catheter drainage and subsequent sclerosis. This relieved colonic or ureteral obstruction and provided significant relief from symptoms. In one case repeated sclerosis was performed. sclerosis of cystic recurrences may provide additional palliation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/4150. Post-biopsy liver cyst: a rare complication of liver biopsy.liver biopsy rarely leads to complications in a non-cirrhotic liver. We describe here a case of a biliary cyst of the liver that developed after a liver biopsy. It was successfully treated with surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |

4/4150. Cyst of seminal vesicle with ipsilateral renal agenesis and ectopic ureter: case report.A 24-year-old man had a cyst of the seminal vesicle and ipsilateral renal agenesis with an ectopic ureter. Nineteen other patients with similar anomalies are reviewed. The usual age at the onset of symptoms is between 20 and 28 years, during the time of maximal reproductive activity. Usually, diagnosis is established by history, the finding of a mass in the area of the seminal vesicle and an excretory urogram. Treatment consists of excision, aspiration or transurethral unroofing of the cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/4150. arachnoid cyst of the middle fossa with paradoxical changes of the bony structures.Two patients with an arachnoid cyst of the middle fossa showed paradoxical changes of the adjoining bony structures of the skull. There was a diminution of the middle fossa and hyperplasia of the sphenoid sinus (pneumosinus dilatans) as well as a marked bulging of the squamous part of the temporal bone. In one case in which scinticisternography was performed, communication between the cyst and the subarachnoidal space was proven as well as an extremely slow cerebrospinal fluid circulation in the cyst. The pathogenesis of the cyst is discussed, based upon the structural changes of the skull, the angiographic findings and the locally disturbed cerebrospinal fluid circulation. The primary disturbance seems to be a temporal lobe agenesis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.3333333333333keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/4150. Multiple endometrial stromal nodules with sparse cysts and glands in the lung--a nodular variation of endometriosis that may mimic metastases of sarcoma.We report an unusual case of a nodular variation of pulmonary endometriosis. To our knowledge, there is no previous report on a morphological investigation of this entity. The etiology of this rare condition is still a matter of discussion. The well-circumscribed nodular mass is composed of cells identical to, or closely resembling, those of endometrial stroma containing sparse cysts and glands. Immunohistochemically, the cells showed an extensive co-expression of cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and vimentin and were highly positive for progesterone receptor (PRICA) and estrogen receptor (ERICA). cells lining the cysts and glands as a monolayer were reactive for Ber-Ep4, cytokeratin Pan and cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and negative to all other markers used including PRICA and ERICA. The differential diagnosis of this entity included fibrous tumor of the pleura and metastatic low-grade-endometrial-stromal-sarcoma. The morphological findings are correlated with immunohistochemical studies and results of cell image analysis. This study details the clinicopathological features of the nodular variation of pulmonary endometriosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/4150. Segment IV liver cyst with biliary communication following laparoscopic deroofing.Simple cysts of the liver rarely have a biliary communication.

8/4150. Isolated polycystic liver disease not linked to polycystic kidney disease 1 and 2.Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease occurs commonly in association with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, types 1 and 2. It may also exist as a separate entity, genetically distinct from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease types 1 and 2, as has been recently established to exist in a Belgian family. We report here a large Argentinian family of Spanish-Belgian ancestry with autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease, where proximal and distal markers for both polycystic kidney disease 1 and 2 failed to demonstrate genetic linkage. The data support the notion that polycystic liver disease and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease may have separate chromosomal loci.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.5keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/4150. papilledema associated with a sacral intraspinal cyst.A rare case of papilledema associated with a large sacral intraspinal cyst is described in a 34-year-old male. Symptoms were aggravated by heavy work and consisted of low back pain, headache, dizziness and episodic vomiting. papilledema was observed on ophthalmological examination. A valvular mechanism was found to exist between the normal spinal sac and the huge sacral cyst. Division of the valvular fistula combined with a dural plastic operation brought complete relief of all symptoms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/4150. Retrorectal cystic harmatoma (tailgut cyst) in an infant: case report.We report the case of a day old infant who presented with a large cystic swelling in the sacroccoygeal area distorting the gluteal folds and displacing the anus anteriorly. Rectal examination revealed less than twenty five per cent of the lesion in retrorectal space, plain x-rays did not show any calcification. The infant had excision surgery at seven days of age and did well thereafter. Although most TGC cases were reported in adults the present case fulfills the anatomical and histological criteria for diagnosis, and it may be the first such case in a child less than one month old.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
