However, if any epithelium from the cyst sac is left behind during surgery, the cyst may regrow. [8] Surgery of the larynx may also be conducted using a CO 2 laser, which was reported as early as the 1970s. [19] Congenital ductal cysts (those caused by blockage of a glandular duct) may be treated by marsupialization. [20]
Mucous retention cyst in maxillary sinus indicated by the asymmetrical blue lump to the right of the nose The most common location to find a mucocele is the inner surface of the lower lip. It can also be found on the inner side of the cheek (known as the buccal mucosa ), on the anterior ventral tongue , and the floor of the mouth .
Cutaneous myxoma is diagnosed based on histopathological features. The differential diagnosis for cutaneous myxoma include alopecia areata, verrucous hamartoma, cyst, fibroma, glioma, hemangioma, lipoma, scar, and nevus sebaceous. Treatment involves complete surgical excision.
A neurofibroma is a benign nerve-sheath tumor in the peripheral nervous system.In 90% of cases, they are found as stand-alone tumors (solitary neurofibroma, solitary nerve sheath tumor [1] or sporadic neurofibroma [1]), while the remainder are found in persons with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1), an autosomal-dominant genetically inherited disease.
Pseudocysts are like cysts, but lack epithelial or endothelial cells. Initial management consists of general supportive care. Symptoms and complications caused by pseudocysts require surgery. Computed tomography (CT) scans are used for initial imaging of cysts, and endoscopic ultrasounds are used in differentiating between cysts and pseudocysts.
For example, mucous cyst of the oral mucosa and nasolabial duct cyst are not of odontogenic origin. In addition, there are several conditions with so-called ( radiographic ) ' pseudocystic appearance' in jaws; ranging from anatomic variants such as Stafne static bone cyst , to the aggressive aneurysmal bone cyst .
Nasopharyngeal cyst refers to cystic swelling arising from midline and lateral wall of the nasopharynx. The commonest cyst arising from lateral wall is the nasopharyngeal branchial cyst, whereas the mucus retention cysts are the commonest to arise from the midline. [1] Sometimes nasopharyngeal cyst may directly refer to Tornwaldt cyst. [2]
