Atypical intraorbital dermoid and epidermoid cyst: A single institution cross-sectional retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Intraorbital epidermoid and dermoid cyst (DC) has been reported in the literature rarely. The current study evaluates clinicopathologic, radiologic, and management of intraorbital DC cases over ten years.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, the medical records of patients with intraorbital DC treated at the academic referral center for ocular surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Data reviewed included the patient's demographic characteristics, clinical features, imaging, surgical technique, and pathology report.

Results

Nine patients with a rare presentation of intraorbital DC were reviewed within the study period in five presentations (five intraosseous, one intraconal, one dumbbell-shaped with a large part in anterior orbit, one juxta levator palpebral muscle, and one recurrent case with intracranial extension). They ranged from 8 to 53 years of age, with a median of 29 years, and five (55.6%) were female. Histopathological evaluation revealed two cysts were epidermoid.

Conclusion

The current study provides more clinical and radiologic manifestations of rare presentations of DC that highlight the importance of high clinical suspicion in the approach to atypical DC.

A dermoid cyst misdiagnosed as a lipoma due to atypical magnetic resonance images: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundDermoid cysts are well-known lesions that manifest as subcutaneous tumors around the lateral sides of the eyebrows in young patients. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often performed to confirm the diagnosis. On the other hand, a lipoma is usually a circular lesion, which is sometimes observed in the upper part of the face. The signals of both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images of MRI of a lipoma are, in general, relatively highly homogenous, and the signals decrease in fat-suppressed images. Therefore, differential diagnosis between a dermoid cyst and a lipoma is usually made with MRI, especially based on fat-suppressed images. Here, we present a case of misdiagnosis of a dermoid cyst as a lipoma because of atypical magnetic resonance images.Case presentationWe report a case of a 24-year-old Japanese woman with a dermoid cyst around the lateral edge of the eyebrow. The cyst had been gradually increasing in size for the past 2 years. On MRI, it showed high internal signals on T1- and T2-weighted images. However, the signal intensity decreased homogeneously in the fat-suppressed T2-weighted images. The observed tumor had a yellowish appearance under the endoscope. On the basis of these findings, the lesion was considered a lipoma until it ruptured intraoperatively. The pathological diagnosis confirmed it to be a dermoid cyst.ConclusionSome dermoid cysts contain lipid-rich liquid, and these may be misdiagnosed as lipomas by MRI. When a tumor is located at a common site for a dermoid cyst, the MRI images should be validated carefully if it appears like a lipoma, and the differential diagnosis should be considered carefully.

Studies of a pedigree with limbal dermoid cyst.

Project description:AimTo study clinical features and gene mutations within the paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (PITX2) gene in a pedigree of bilateral limbal dermoids.MethodsComplete eye examinations have been performed on each individual of the family. Exons of paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (PITX2) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction, sequenced, and compared with a reference database.ResultsWe described the phenotype, clinic findings in a family with two affected members. The masses of the proband's eyes were excised surgically demonstrating a dermoid cyst by histopathological examination. No mutation was detected in the gene PITX2 in this pedigree.ConclusionA family of limbal dermoid cyst was reported. In addition, no pathogenic sequence variations were found in PITX2, indicating that this phenotype in this family is a distinctive entity.

Dermoid Cyst of Nasal Tip and Nasal Septum.

Project description:AbstractDermoid cyst is a congenital and benign disease with most occur on the head and neck. It is rarely that occur on the nasal tip and nasal septum at same time and rarely repair of using nasal septum mucosa. The authors treated a child with dermoid cyst in the nasal tip and septum. Only the dermoid cyst at the tip of the nose caused the change of appearance. Dermoid cyst of nasal septum did not cause any clinical symptoms. She underwent excision of the dermoid cyst at the tip of the nose and endoscopic surgery for the dermoid cyst in the nasal septum and used the nasal septum mucosa for repair at the same time. After 6 months of recovery, the appearance of the nasal tip recovered well without obvious scar, the nasal septum area recovered well, and the local stoma was unobstructed without recurrence. The authors found that this kind of nasal septal cyst with no clinical symptoms can achieve good therapeutic effect through endoscopic surgery and repair of using nasal septum mucosa, with less damage, rapid recovery, and good prognosis.

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.

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

Project description: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.

Fimbrial dermoid cyst with elevated CA19-9 levels: A case report.

Project description:We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented in an acute setting with pelvic pain, an adnexal mass on imaging and a high CA19-9 level. She was taken for surgery, where a large dermoid cyst was found at the fimbrial end of a fallopian tube at the time of laparoscopy, with no apparent connection to either ovary and absence of ovarian necrosis. This was corroborated on final histology. Dermoid cysts in aberrant locations are usually reported at Caesarean section or during laparoscopic sterilisation and thus, understandably, a pre-operative CA19-9 level is rarely available. That and the rarity of these 'ectopic dermoids' make it hard to give further support for a causative association with the high tumour marker levels. Some authors suggest that auto-amputation of a dermoid cyst or part thereof and subsequent reimplantation may give rise to this phenomenon, and thus the term 'wandering dermoid' has been applied to similar situations. This is what we postulated as the cause in our case. It is likely that a full understanding of the aetiology of wandering dermoid cysts will remain elusive, given the paucity of cases.

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.

[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.

Superficial solitary fibrous tumor masquerading as a dermoid cyst: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSolitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are relatively rare spindle cell neoplasms uncommonly seen in dermatology practice. Initially discovered as a pleural tumor, SFTs have also been found in extra-pleural sites including the skin and soft tissues. When arising within the dermis or subcutis they are termed superficial SFTs, where they often present as solitary, unilateral, slow growing superficial masses. Histologically, they are composed of spindle cells arranged in a "patternless" pattern with hemangiopericytoma-like vessels dispersed throughout. Historically, CD34, CD99 and Bcl-2 immunohistochemical (IHC) stains were used to differentiate SFTs from other spindle cell neoplasms, however these markers are not entirely specific. Recent discovery of a disease defining NGFI-A binding protein 2 (NAB2)-signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) fusion gene has led to the use of STAT6 IHC staining to help verify the diagnosis of SFTs, particularly in unexpected sites.Case descriptionWe report a case of a 23-year-old woman with a slowly growing lateral supra-orbital mass, clinically concerning for a dermoid cyst, which was subsequently discovered to be a SFT on pathologic examination, with the diagnosis being verified by STAT6 immunostaining.ConclusionsSFTs are rarely encountered in dermatologic practice, however, must be kept on the differential of subcutaneous nodules, including those occurring in young adults. Due to the rarity of these tumors in clinical practice, a proposed algorithm for the approach to management of SFTs is included, guided by a validated, histology-driven, metastatic risk assessment tool, to help guide other clinicians confronted by these tumors.
