Epidermoid cyst on frenulum of the penis: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Epidermoid cyst in the penis is uncommon and only a small number of cases have been reported. We presented a thirty-two-year-old male patient with a case of slow growing, mobilized, non-tender frenulum of the penis mass that developed in 10 years period. Surgery treatment was taken under local anesthesia. Pathological examination was revealed as epidermoid cyst. Care must be given during examination of these lesions to rule out another entity. If there is any indication, complete excision is the best treatment as another treatment may lead to the risk of recurrence.

Elderly onset intramedullary epidermoid cyst in the conus medullaris: a case report.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Epidermoid cysts are known as embryonic or acquired ectopic aberrations of the ectoderm. To the best of our knowledge, there are only a few reports of elderly onset intramedullary epidermoid cysts. We report a case of elderly onset intramedullary epidermoid cyst at the conus medullaris. CASE PRESENTATION: A 63-year-old Japanese woman working as a farmer presented with slowly progressive gait disturbance and voiding dysfunction. A magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed an intramedullary mass lesion at L1 to L3. We diagnosed the lesion as an intramedullary spinal cord tumor. A laminectomy was performed at the level of Th12 to L3. Upon spinal cord dissection, a yellowish milky exudation erupted from the cystic lesion. We resected white cartilage-like pieces from the cystic cavity. Because the wall of the cystic lesion tightly adhered to the spinal cord parenchyma, we abandoned complete resection of the cyst wall. The pathological diagnosis was an epidermoid cyst. CONCLUSIONS: We propose that evacuation of the cyst contents is preferable, especially in cases with elderly onset and congenital origin.

Laparoscopic surgery of epidermoid cyst of the falciform ligament: A case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceThe falciform ligament is a peritoneal fold that extends from the anterior abdominal wall to the liver, which divides the liver into two lobes. Cysts of the falciform ligament are rare and without an apparent cause. The range of the symptoms can vary from abdominal pain to asymptomatic patients. Cysts are treated surgically, and resection is used to make a definitive diagnosis.Case presentationA 36-year-old female patient was treated at an outpatient facility for epigastric pain that lasted for three months. Abdominal MRI and MSCT were performed to verify a cyst formation in the left liver area of about 12 cm in size. Laparoscopic resection of the cist was performed under general endotracheal anaesthesia.Clinical discussionFalciform ligament tumours can be malignant or benign. Treatment of the cyst includes complete excision and pathohistological diagnosis to rule out malignancy. In most cases reported thus far, excision has been done after laparotomy. In our case, the operation was performed in a less invasive way, laparoscopically.ConclusionLaparoscopy can serve as a diagnostic and therapeutic method for cysts of the falciform ligament, both smaller and more significant, that infiltrate the surrounding structures.

Testicular epidermoid cyst: A rare case.

Project description:Testicular epidermoid cysts are a rare cause of testicular pathology. No cases of recurrence or metastasis have been reported in the literature. As a result, inguinal partial orchiectomy with frozen section has recently become standard treatment. A 43-year-old male presented with right testicular discomfort and the presence of mass. Right inguinal partial orchiectomy with frozen section was performed, and the right testicle was preserved. The final pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst. The importance of accurate diagnosis of this benign lesion is crucial for the prevention of unnecessary radical orchiectomy.

[Fourth ventricule epidermoid cyst: about a case].

Project description:Epidermoid cysts are rare benign tumors developed by ectodermic inclusions. They are usually located at the level of the pontocerebellar angle, the parasellar region and the temporal fossa. They exceptionally develop at the level of the fourth ventricle We report the case of a 47-year old woman admitted for intracranial hypertension syndrome associated with walking disorders. The diagnosis of fourth ventricle epidermoid cyst was evoked based on diffusion MRI data then confirmed intraoperatively and by histologic examination. Subtotal surgical excision was performed due to capsule adhesion to the upper part of the V4 floor. After a 36-month follow-up, the patient showed no signs of tumor recurrence.

Complete duplication of the penis - A case report

Project description:Penile duplication is a very rare urological entity. It may be associated with other congenital conditions such as urogenital, GI tract and musculoskeletal anomalies. Properly classifying the condition may dictate the final treatment options. Our current case is the complete true duplication in which we performed side-to-side urethra-urethral anastomosis. We spared the posterior urethra as it may end up with postoperative urinary incontinence.

Spinal Epidermoid Tumors: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Project description:Spinal epidermoid tumors are rare, benign tumors that are either acquired from trauma, surgery, or lumbar puncture or arise as congenital lesions, particularly spinal dysraphisms. We report a case of a massive spinal epidermoid tumor and review the literature with a focus on the surgical outcomes. A 71-year-old female patient presented after a fall with subsequent symptoms of severe back and hip pain, as well as loss of motor strength in the left leg. Her magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a T2/short tau inversion recovery hyperintense mass extending from the level of the T10-11 disc caudally through S2. A biopsy was recommended to determine whether the tumor was radio- or chemo-sensitive. The patient underwent a L4 laminectomy and a pearly-white tumor was encountered, with a subsequent biopsy confirming it to be an epidermoid tumor. The following conclusions can be drawn from a review of the literature. Spinal epidermoid tumors are more common in women and tend to present in younger patients (median age of 23). The majority of patients had acquired lesions (46%). In terms of surgical outcomes for adherent tumors, gross total resection was found to provide optimal outcomes, with 90% of patients improving clinically after surgery.

Giant Retrorectal Epidermoid Cyst Masquerading as a Perianal Swelling.

Project description:A retrorectal epidermoid cyst is an uncommon congenital lesion that arises from the remnants of the embryonic tissues. This type of cyst is difficult to diagnose before surgery. In this study, we report a rare case of a giant retrorectal epidermoid cyst in a 30-year-old woman. Initially, the condition was diagnosed as a perianal abscess and treated with incision and drainage. Since the abscess recurred, a pelvic magnetic resonance imaging was ordered, which revealed an 8.2?cm perianal cyst with appearance not compatible with an abscess. Postsurgical histologic analysis confirmed a retrorectal epidermoid cyst. Postoperative course was uneventful, and the woman was discharged on postoperative day 3. She was doing well at 4 months of follow-up. This report suggests that retrorectal cysts should be considered in cases of recurrent perianal swellings/abscesses.

Leishmaniasis Caused by Leishmania major on the Glans Penis: A Case Report.

Project description:Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is one of the prevalent parasitic diseases in Iran principally caused by two species, Leishmania major and L. tropica. Here, we present a rare case of a congenital form of CL around the glans penis from the central part of Iran in 2017. A 24-yr-old male patient from the central part of Iran presented with biennial ulceration of the glans penis. Diagnostic methods included physical and preclinical examination, microscopic observation, leishmanin skin test (LST), and serological tests including direct agglutination test (DAT). Nested PCR and sequencing analysis were used on the positive smears for confirmation of CL and Leishmania species identification. The preclinical results were normal, and no anti-Leishmania antibodies were detected in the peripheral blood of the patient using DAT. In abdominal ultrasonography, the spleen and liver size were normal. LST was positive (≥5 mm) after 72 h, and a few amastigote forms of Leishmania sp. were demonstrated under light microscopy. L. major was confirmed using nested PCR and sequencing analysis. The patient responded to oral administration of miltefosine (2.5 mg/kg/d) for 28 days. To the best of our knowledge, genital CL due to L. major has not been previously reported from Iran.

[Purely endoscopic supracerebellar infratentorial approach for epidermoid cyst in third ventricle].

Project description:BackgroundThe epidermoid cyst as a pineal region tumor is an infrequent pathology and with few descriptions in literature. Its prevalence in the third ventricle is 0,0042% of all intracranial tumors. To achieve a complete exéresis we used an endoscopic supracerebellar-infratentorial approach, surgical technique for pineal region approach.ObjectivesThe purpose of this work is to show the surgical technique of this novel approach for the treatment of a very infrequent disease.Methods16 years old male patient with history of diabetes insipidus and chronic headaches (m-RS 1). Brain MRI showed a lesion with hyperintensity in T2WI and hypointensity in T1WI. It presents peripheral enhancement with gadolinium and restricted diffusion pattern in DWI. The pituitary stalk also showed enhancement with contrast. Germ cell tumor was a possible diagnosis but tumor cell markers were negative in CSF samples. We decided to make the purely endoscopic approach to the region to make a biopsy and a possible resection. Intraoperative pathology result informed an epidermoid tumor, so we continued with the complete exeresis of the tumor.ResultsWe achieved a complete resection of a third ventricle epidermoid cyst with a purely endoscopic supracerebellar-infratentorial approach and a skull base rigid endoscope in a 16 years old male patient. The patient has recovered without any sequelae, headaches free but persistence of diabetes insipidus (m-RS 1).Conclusion: The purely endoscopic supracerebellar-infratentorial approach is a safe option to the surgical management of third ventricle pathologies, in this case, an epydermoid cyst.

Microwave ablation of splenic cyst: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionNon-parasitic spleen cyst (NSC) is a relatively rare and difficult to diagnose disease, which rapture due to a traumatic impact to the spleen, can lead to the peritonitis.Case presentationWe present the case of a 30-year-old woman with a 7.5 × 7.5 × 5 cm NSC, who underwent the microwave ablation (MWA) of the splenic cyst.ResultsThe procedure was performed under intravenous anesthesia. MWA of the cysts was performed using a probe placed in the cavity of the cyst, with the frequency of 902-928 MHz delivered during 15 minutes. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was discharged after 2 days.ConclusionWe demonstrated that MWA can be utilized as a novel, minimally-invasive, and cost-effective approach in NSC treatment.
