INTRODUCTION: Spinal epidermoid tumors are exceptionally rare, comprising less than 1 % of all spinal tumors. True intramedullary epidermoid cysts (IECs) are even more infrequent, constituting only 0.8 % of all spinal epidermoid tumors, with a notable cranial preference. Due to their gradual growth, the clinical presentation varies widely based on factors such as size, location, and the patient's age. CASE PRESENTATION: A 17-year-old male patient was admitted after experiencing an eight-month-long gradual weakening of both lower limbs...

RATIONALE: Epidermoid cyst (EC) is a common clinical condition and it can be filled with keratinized material. EC often represents painless, slow progressive growth, and single cyst. The cyst is usually 1 to 5 cm in size. Giant epidermoid cysts on the buttock area are extremely rare, and reports of giant epidermoid double cysts on the buttock are even rarer. PATIENT CONCERNS: This paper reports a patient with a painless mass was on the left buttock. DIAGNOSIS: A giant epidermoid double cysts with infection in a left buttock paranal location...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Splenic epidermoid cysts are rare primary congenital cysts composed of an epithelial lining that represent a small proportion of nonparasitic splenic cysts. Despite their infrequency, there is a lack of uniform diagnostic and treatment guidelines for these cysts, emphasizing the need for further research and standardized reporting. CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old female presented with left upper quadrant abdominal pain, characterized by a pressing sensation...

Dermal sinus tracts (DSTs) are congenital lesions that connect the cutaneous ectoderm with the underlying neuroectodermal tissues. They are typically midline, solitary lesions. Multiple, and atypically located DSTs have been only rarely described. We present two cases of multiple and laterally located DSTs. The first presented with bacterial meningitis and two tracts in the right buttock, one of which entered the spinal canal through the S3 neural foramen. The second child had three midline lumbar DSTs, one subcutaneous dermoid cyst and one intradural epidermoid cyst...

BACKGROUND: A peri-implant cystic lesion is a rare finding, and to date most investigators have considered that its pathogenesis is caused by trauma and infection related to dental implantation. However, the pathogenesis of these cysts remains unclear and is recognized to have multifactorial origins. CASE PRESENTATION: In February 2021, a 75-year-old male patient underwent implant restoration due to mobility of the left maxillary central incisor. The implant achieved good osseointegration and was successfully restored...

We present a fascinating case of a patient who suffered from persistent headaches for three months due to an epidermoid cyst located in the prepontine cistern. Epidermoid cysts are a very uncommon type of intracranial tumor, known for their slow growth and gradual onset of neurological symptoms. In this particular case, our patient, a 35-year-old, experienced a headache that was accompanied by dizziness, photophobia, and pain when moving their eyes. Further imaging revealed a cystic lesion in the prepontine cistern, which had a mass effect on the pons...

Epidermal inclusion cysts in the periocular region are distinctive pathologies exhibiting varied clinical and radiological features, and they should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions near the orbit. This article discusses the clinical and radiological details, along with the surgical results, of two individual cases of epidermal inclusion cysts, with different localization and without any preceding trauma, surgical history, or eyelid inflammation. In the first case, a substantial spherical structure closely connected to the tarsal plate was identified via excisional biopsy, whereas the second case involved a soft, oval tumor located at the outer right orbital corner, as determined clinically and validated through computed tomography...

During breast reduction, pedicle de-epithelialization, as meticulous as possible, is necessary to ensure satisfying breast sculpting and to avoid any epidermoid cyst. To perform an effective and rapid de-epithelialization, a good tension of the skin is mandatory. Several techniques to improve skin tension of the breast are described in the literature. We report a cheap, effective, and easily reproducible method, based on the use of an oxygen tube with nasal cannula.

Immunosuppressants are increasingly being used in the clinic to manage immune-related adverse effects. Consequently, the incidence of secondary infections associated with immunosuppression is increasing. However, little is known about primary infections during immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment without immunosuppressants. We aimed to evaluate primary infectious diseases during antiprogrammed death ligand-1 immunotherapy without immunosuppressants. We retrospectively screened medical records of 233 patients who underwent ICI treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer between January 2014 and May 2018 at National Cancer Center, Republic of Korea...

Testicular cancers represent about 5 % of all urological tumors. Most patients who undergo radical orchiectomy (RO) decide to place a testicular prosthesis, for a cosmetic result and to accept the testicular loss. Among all late complications, a spontaneous prosthesis rupture is a rare event contrary to penile prosthesis. The present study reported the case of a 53-year-old Italian man has presented to our department principally for a suspicious rupture of testicular implant, placed twenty years before after a RO...

Cranial epidermoid cysts are relatively rare. More frequently reported in middle-aged men with a wide variety of signs and symptoms such as headache, seizures, cerebellar and cranial nerve deficits/visual disturbance. The approach for surgical removal of the cyst depends on its size and location. In addition, a multidisciplinary team must be involved due to the common occurrence of misdiagnosis. We present the unusual age of presentation for intradiploic epidermoid cysts. A 14-year-old boy is complaining of a 2-month history of painless progressive swelling of the right eyebrow...
