Ch 1 Developmental Defects 4 Flashcards
What is the alternate name for a thyroglossal duct cyst?
thyroglossal tract cyst
The caudal segment of the thyroglossal duct
often persists, forming the ________ lobe of the thyroid gland.
pyramidal
Where do a majority of thyroglossal duct cysts develop? (please give saggital and coronal locations)
midline and adjactent to the hyoid bone
When are most thyroglossal duct cysts diagnosed? Gender?
50% before 20 years old…no sex predilection
Thyroglossal duct cyst histo: 4 types of epi lining? Is thyroid tissue required?
- columnar 2.stratified squamous 3. cuboidal 4.small intestine….thyroid tissue not a consistent finding
What is the term for the surgical procedure to remove a thyroglossal duct cyst? What is the recurrecne rate with this procedure?
Sistrunk procedure (removal of cyst with midline hyoid bone and muscle tissue)…less than 10% (much higher with less aggressive removal)
What % of thyroglossal duct cysts have progressed to cancer? What type of cancer?
1-2%…papillary thyroid carcinoma (mets rare, good prog)
What is the alternate term for a branchial cleft cyst?
cervical lymphoepithelial cyst
A majority of branchial cleft cysts are derived from which arch? What is the %? Which other arches can cause cysts?
95% from the 2nd branchial arch…5% 1st, 3rd, and 4th arches
2 most common sites for branchial cleft cysts of the 2nd arch?
- upper lateral neck anterior
2. deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle
What is the age range for patients with a branchial cleft cyst?
10-40 years old
What % of branchial cleft cyst are from the 1st arch? Where do they clinically present?
1%…near the parotid gland
Where do branchial cleft cysts from the 3rd and 4th cleft develop? (2 sites)
- lower neck
2. mediastinum
Branchial cleft cyst histo: 90% are which type of epithelial lining? What is the other possibility? What is often found in the cyst wall?
90% stratified squamous w/ or w/o keratinization….respiratory…lymphoid tissue in the cyst wall (hence cervical lymphoepithelial cyst)
What is the recurrence for branchial cleft cyst?
almost never recurs
Oral lymphoepithelial cyst is microscopically similar to which developmental lesion?
branchial cleft cyst (cervical lymphoepithelial cyst)
What are the three components to the Waldeyer Ring?
- palatine tonsils 2. lingual tonsils 3.pharyngeal adenoids
What are three locations other than the waldeyer ring for oral lymphoepithelial cysts?
- FOM
- Ventral tongue
- soft palate
What age group is most common for oral lymphoepithelial cysts?
young adults
What is the recurrence for oral lymphoepithelial cysts?
shouldn’t recur
What is the alternate name for hemihyperplasia?
Hemihypertrophy (the tissues are hyperplastic though)
What is is a rare developmental anomaly characterized
by asymmetric overgrowth of one or more body parts?
Hemihyperplasia
YAY! Memorize that box! What are the 12 malformation syndromes associated with hemihyperplasia?
- Beckwith-Wiedmann syndrome (macroglossia, nevus flammeus)
- Neurofibromatosis (NFs + cafe-au-lait coast of California)
- Kipple-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (Triad: port-wine stain, abnormal overgrowth of soft tissues and bones, and vein malformations)
- Proteus syndrome (rare condition characterized by overgrowth of the bones, skin, and other tissues.)
- McCune-Albright syndrome (Polyostotic FD + cafe-au-lait coast of Maine + endocrineopathies)
- Epidermal nevus syndrome (epidermal nevi + CNS problems)
- Triploid/diploid mixoploidy (truncal obesity, body/facial asymmetry, weak muscle tone (hypotonia), delays in growth, mild differences in facial features, fusion or webbing between some of the fingers and/or toes (syndactyly) and irregularities in the skin pigmentation)
- Langer-Giedion syndrome (Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) type 2..rare gene deletion syndrome with distinct facial features and bone abnormalities)
- Multiple exostoses syndrome (self explanatory)
- Maffucci syndrome (multiple enchondromas + soft tissue hemangiomas)
- Ollier syndrome (multiple enchondromas only)
- Segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (missing PM, Becker nevus)
What defines simple vs complex hemihyperplasia?
simple: single limb; complex: entire side of body
