Orthokeratienized odontogenic cyst (OOC) is a comparatively unusual developmental odontogenic cyst arising from odontogenic epithelium. Recurrence has rarely been noted, and has been reported in less than 2% of cases. Epidermoid cyst (EDC) is a benign cystic lesion, which is lined by stratified squamous epithelium and includes keratin debris. They can present anywhere in the body but are rare in the head and neck areas. In this report, we present an uncommon case of simultaneous occurrence of OOC in mandible and EDC around the areas of both ears in a patient who has no history of genetic syndrome.
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign salivary gland tumor. Being pleomorphic, its histologic characteristics can be considerably varied, showing epithelial (ductal and non-ductal) cells and mesenchyme-like tissues (chondroid, myxoid, and osseous). Here, we present a rare case of a 76-year-old female presenting with a 2.0 cm PA with an epidermoid cyst of minor salivary glands on the soft palate.
We report a rare case of intraosseous epidermoid cyst in mandibular body. A non symptomatic patient without trauma history had a cystic lesion on mandible close to the third molar. The lesion was enucleated while extracting of left lower third molar. The microscopic findings were consistent with an epidermoid cyst. Key words:Epidermoid Cyst, Intraosseous, Mandible
We present a case of intraparotid plexiform neurofibroma in a 7-year-old man. The lesion was determined as plexiform neuroma in histopathological findings, but final diagnosis was plexiform neurofibroma considering his familiy history of neurofibromatosis and café au lait spots on his body. Currently we are executing follow-up after removing the tumor with surgery. Plexiform neurofibroma can develope at any point along a nerve and spread out either just under the skin or deeper in the body. According to the literature, the most common site of plexiform neurofibroma is mouth and face in the head and neck region. Also, plexiform neurofibroma occurs at 8.8-year-old in neurofibromatosis typeⅠ patient with familial history. Because of interlacing with adjacent normal tissue and the invasive nature we have difficult resecting the mass completely. So when the tumor turns symptomatic or disfiguring leading to an aesthetic problem, surgery had better be undertaken.
Epidermoid cyst of the oral and maxillofacial region is a soft tissue cyst lined with keratinized stratified squamous epithelium and most commonly arises in the superficial area of the mouth floor. Uncommonly, the epidermoid cyst may arise deeply in the submandibular region and should be differentially diagnosed with cystic salivary gland tumors, developmental cysts and other cystic lesions. We report a rare case of an epidermoid cyst near the submandibular gland, clinically and radiographically mistaken as a salivary gland tumor.
췌장내 부비장에서 발생하는 유표피 낭종은 매우 드문 양성 질환으로 대부분 건강 검진에서 우연히 발견되는 경우가 많고, CEA 또는 CA 19-9 등의 혈청 종양 표지자의 상승을 동반하는 췌장의 낭성 종양과 감별이 어려운 질환이다. 저자들은 건강 검진에서 CA19-9의 상승으로 복부 전산화 단층촬영을 시행하고, 췌장 미부의 낭성 종양을 진단받은 환자에서 내시경 초음파 유도 세침흡인검사 및 낭종액 분석을 시행하고 점액성 낭성 종양 의심하에 수술을 시행하였으나, 최종적 으로 췌장내 부비장의 유표피 낭종으로 진단된 증례를 경험 하여 보고하는 바이다. 췌장내 부비장 유표피낭종은 다른 악성화가 가능한 췌장 낭성 종양과 감별이 어려운 질환이지만, 내시경 초음파 검사, 자기공명 영상 등의 추가 검사를 통해 췌장 미부의 부비장을 수술 전에 진단하면, 추후 불필요한 수술을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
Dermoid and epidermoid cysts in the oral cavity are uncommon and account for less than 0.01% of all oral cysts. The large majority of cases arise in the floor of the mouth and there are rare in other sites. We would like to report an unusual case of epidermoid cyst at the buccal mucosa in a 66-year-old male with a review of literature.
