L2 Flashcards
Nasolabial Cyst
the Ala of the nose may be elevated
Female to Male 3:1
Nasolabial cyst treatment
Biopsy, surgical removal
Incisive canal Cyst develops from
Epithelial remnants of the nasopalatine duct
Incisive Canal Cyst occurs
At the spices of maxillary central incisors
Incisive Canal Cyst Treatment
Simple curettage is curative
Incisive Canal Histopathology
Highly variable cyst lining
Cyst wall contains contents of the incisive Canal
Epidermoid Cyst arise from
Arise from the hair follicle
Epidermoid cysts usually affect
Facial skin, neck or back
Milia
Very small epidermoid cysts
epidermoid Cyst treatment
Simple excision
Epidermoid Cysts histopathology
Cystic lining that resembles the epidermis with production of orthokeratin
Have a very doughy feel to them because they are lined with that keratinized tissue
Milia often occur
In clusters/multiples
Milia most common location
Perioorbital location
Milia treatment
Resolve spontaneously by self marsupialization
Dermoid Cyst lined by
Epidermis like epithelium
Dermoid cyst walls
Contains adnexal skin structures
-hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands
Dermoid cysts may be classified as _____
Benign cystic form of teratoma composed of tissue derived from multiple germ layers
Cysts of the incise papilla
No bony involvement
Dermoid cysts most commonly
Occurs as fluctuate swelling midline floor of mouth
Dermoid above geniohyoid
Displaces tongue superiors
Dermoid below geniohyoid
Submental swelling
Dermoid cysts treatment
Surgical excision
Rare malignant transformation
Thyroglobulin Duct Cyst arise
From remnants of thyroglassal tract
Thyroglobulin Duct Cyst may be
Attached to hyoid bone or tongue and may elevate on swelling
Thyroglobulin Duct Cyst
Midline; foramen cecum to suprasternal notch
Thyroglobulin Duct Cyst treatment
High recurrence rate unless treated by Sistrunk Procedure
-Excision with a portion of hyoid bone and musucural tissue
Thyroglobulin Duct Cyst Histopathology
Lined by columnar or statrified squamous epithets with thyroid tissue in cyst wall
Bronchial Cleft Cyst
Cervical variant of lymphoepithelial cyst
Bronchial Cleft Cyst arise from
Remnants of the branchial arches; 2nd arch
Bronchial Cleft Cyst flucutuant
Swelling of upper lateral neck
Bronchial Cleft Cyst is usually _______ to SCM
Anterior
Bronchial Cleft Cyst may develop
Fistula tract
Bronchial Cleft Cyst treatment
Surgical removal
- minimal recurrence
- questionable malignant transformation
Bronchial Cleft Cyst Histopathology
Line by stratified squamous epithelium with lymphoid tissue in cyst wall
Oral Lymphoepithelial Cyst Counter part
Oral counterpart of branchial cleft cyst
Oral Lymphoepithelial Cyst arise
Arises from epithelial rests trapped in oral lymphoid tissue
Oral Lymphoepithelial Cyst
Soft to firm, yellowish white nodule
