Cyst Flashcards
Total removal of entire cyst in one piece and curettage after
Enucleation
Creating window in wall of cyst to allow contents to be drained and cyst to shrink. Save vital structures, enucleation done after that
Marsupalization
Soft tissue cyst, swelling in upper lip lateral to midline, elevation of ala of nose
Nasolabial cyst
Most frequent type of non Odontogenic cyst
Nasopalatine cyst
Swelling in anterior palate, pain & drainage, divergence of the roots of maxillary teeth
Nasopalatine duct cyst
Heart shape or inverted pear shape, well circumscribed radiolucency at the midline between the apical to central incisor teeth, teeth vital
Nasopalatine duct cyst
Entrapped epithelium at the line of fusion between lateral palatal shelves
Median palatine cyst
More posterior presentation of Nasopalatine duct cyst
Median palatine cyst
Fluctuant swelling posterior to palatine papilla on midline of hard palate, asymptomatic
Median palatine cyst
Well circumscribed radiolucency in the midline of hard palate on occlusal radiographs
Median palatine cyst
Pear shaped radiolucency between maxillary lateral incisor and the canine
Globulomaxillary cyst
Palatal cysts of newborn 2 presentations
Epstein’s pearls
Bohn’s nodules
Small white to yellowish papules along median palatine raphe of newborns
Epstein’s pearls
Small papules scattered over hard palate more close to soft palate junction, derived from remnants of minor salivary gland
Bohn’s nodules
Most common developmental cyst of neck
Thyroglossal duct cyst
Cyst in midline of the neck between foramen cecum and suprasternal area next to hyoid bone
Thyroglossal duct cyst
Asymptomatic, fluctuant, movable swelling in neck, if infected it causes sinus tract
Thyroglossal duct cyst
Vascular and resembles hemangioma
Thyroglossal duct cyst
Hemorrhaging into the mouth because of rupture of overlying veins
Thyroglossal duct cyst
Sistrunk procedure
Thyroglossal duct cyst (removing cyst as well as hyoid bone)
Developmental cyst derived from remnants of branchial arches, most commonly second branchial arch
Branchial cleft cyst/ cervical lymphoepithelial cyst
Upper lateral neck anterior or deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, soft and fluctuant, 1-10 cm, asymptomatic
Branchial cleft cyst
Painless white to yellowish small firm or soft submucosal swelling with non ulcerated smooth overlying mucosa
Oral lymphoepithelial cyst
Cyst lined by epidermis like epithelium and contains sebaceous glands, hair follicles or sweat glands
Dermoid cyst
15% of dermoid cysts are
Congenital
Midline of floor of mouth, painless slow growing swelling, soft and doughy
Dermoid cyst
If above geniohyoid muscle displaces tongue upwards, if below then double chin appearance
Dermoid cyst
Seperation of follicle, accumulation of fluid between reduced enamel eoithelium and tooth crown
Dentigerous cyst
