Treatment The CBCT images were read by a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist whose report was re- a viewed with the patient and her parents; they agreed to proceed with the treatment plan, which was a biopsy of hard and soft tissues followed by periodontal therapy to regenerate lost tissues. Anesthesia was achieved with one carpule of lidocaine (2%) with epinephrine (1:100,000). The pretreatment photo (Fig 6a) showed the presence of a fistula at the interproximal area of the mandibular left first and second premolars.

  • Bartholin's Cyst, Also Called a Bartholin's Duct Cyst, Is a Small Growth Just Inside the Opening of a Woman’S Vagina
    Saint Mary’s Hospital Bartholin’s cyst Information For Patients 2 Welcome to the Gynaecology Services at Saint Mary’s Hospital This leaflet aims to give you some general information about Bartholin’s cysts and help to answer any questions you may have. It is intended only as a guide and there will be an opportunity for you to talk to your nurse and doctor about your care and treatment. What is a Bartholin;s cyst? A Bartholin's cyst, also called a Bartholin's duct cyst, is a small growth just inside the opening of a woman’s vagina. Cysts are small fluid-filled sacs that are usually harmless. Normal anatomy Bartholin gland cyst Bartholin’s glands The Bartholin’s glands are a pair of pea-sized glands that are found just behind and either side of the labia minora (the inner pair of lips surrounding the entrance to the vagina). The glands are not usually noticeable because they are rarely larger than 1cm (0.4 inches) across. 3 The Bartholin’s glands secrete fluid that acts as a lubricant during sexual intercourse. The fluid travels down tiny ducts (tubes) that are about 2cm (0.8 inches) long into the vagina. If the ducts become blocked, they will fill with fluid and expand. This then becomes a cyst. How common is a Bartholin’s cyst? According to estimates, around 2% (1 in 50) of women will experience a Bartholin’s cyst at some point. The condition usually affects sexually active women between the ages of 20 and 30. The Bartholin’s glands do not start functioning until puberty, so Bartholin’s cysts do not usually affect children.

  • Practical Applications of Molecular Testing in the Cytologic Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cysts
    Review Practical Applications of Molecular Testing in the Cytologic Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cysts Mingjuan Lisa Zhang * and Martha B. Pitman * Department of Pathology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.L.Z.); [email protected] (M.B.P.) Abstract: Mucinous pancreatic cysts are precursor lesions of ductal adenocarcinoma. Discoveries of the molecular alterations detectable in pancreatic cyst fluid (PCF) that help to define a mucinous cyst and its risk for malignancy have led to more routine molecular testing in the preoperative evaluation of these cysts. The differential diagnosis of pancreatic cysts is broad and ranges from non-neoplastic to premalignant to malignant cysts. Not all pancreatic cysts—including mucinous cysts—require surgical intervention, and it is the preoperative evaluation with imaging and PCF analysis that determines patient management. PCF analysis includes biochemical and molecular analysis, both of which are ancillary studies that add significant value to the final cytological diagnosis. While testing PCF for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a very specific test for a mucinous etiology, many mucinous cysts do not have an elevated CEA. In these cases, detection of a KRAS and/or GNAS mutation is highly specific for a mucinous etiology, with GNAS mutations supporting an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. Late mutations in the progression to malignancy such as those found in TP53, p16/CDKN2A, and/or SMAD4 support a high-risk lesion. This review highlights PCF triage and analysis of pancreatic cysts for optimal cytological diagnosis. Keywords: pancreatic cytology; pancreatic cyst fluid; cyst fluid triage; molecular testing; mucinous cyst; intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm; mucinous cystic neoplasm Citation: Zhang, M.L.; Pitman, M.B.

These changes are sometimes called fibrocystic changes, and used to be called fibrocystic disease. 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Fibrosis and cysts are most common in women of child-bearing age, but they can affect women of any age. They may be found in different parts of the breast and in both breasts at the same time. Fibrosis Fibrosis refers to a large amount of fibrous tissue, the same tissue that ligaments and scar tissue are made of. Areas of fibrosis feel rubbery, firm, or hard to the touch. Cysts Cysts are fluid-filled, round or oval sacs within the breasts. They are often felt as a round, movable lump, which might also be tender to the touch. They are most often found in women in their 40s, but they can occur in women of any age. Monthly hormone changes often cause cysts to get bigger and become painful and sometimes more noticeable just before the menstrual period. Cysts begin when fluid starts to build up inside the breast glands. Microcysts (tiny, microscopic cysts) are too small to feel and are found only when tissue is looked at under a microscope.

  • Ovarian Cysts Before the Menopause
    Information for you Published in June 2013 Ovarian cysts before the menopause About this information This information is for you if you are premenopausal (have not gone through the menopause) and your doctor thinks you might have a cyst on one or both of your ovaries. It tells you about cysts on the ovary and the tests and treatment you may be offered. This information aims to help you and your healthcare team make the best decisions about your care. It is not meant to replace advice from a doctor about your situation. What are ovaries? Ovaries are a woman’s reproductive organs that make female hormones and release an egg from a follicle (a small fluid-filled sac) each month. The follicle is usually about 2–3 cm when measured across (diameter) but sometimes can be larger. What is an ovarian cyst? An ovarian cyst is a larger fluid-filled sac (more than 3 cm in diameter) that develops on or in an ovary. A cyst can vary in size from a few centimetres to the size of a large melon. Ovarian cysts may be thin-walled and only contain fluid (known as a simple cyst) or they may be more complex, containing thick fluid, blood or solid areas. There are many different types of ovarian cyst that occur before the menopause, examples of which include: • a simple cyst, which is usually a large follicle that has continued to grow after an egg has been released; simple cysts are the most common cysts to occur before the menopause and most disappear within a few months • an endometrioma – endometriosis, where cells of the lining of the womb are found outside the womb, sometimes causes ovarian cysts and these are called endometriomas (for further information see the RCOG patient information leaflet Endometriosis: What You Need to 1 Know, available at: www.rcog.org.uk/womens-health/clinical-guidance/endometriosis-what-you- need-know) • a dermoid cyst, which develops from the cells that make eggs in the ovary, often contains substances such as hair and fat.

Connors, Sr., Chairman; Paul R. Dean, Trustee; William Miller, Trustee; Donald E. Pierce, Jr., Trustee; Thomas H. Saggau, Trustee. Pursuant to Article IX of the United Mine Workers of America ("UMWA!') 1950 Benefit Plan and Trust, and under the authority of an exemption granted by the United States Department of Labor, the Trustees have reviewed the facts and circumstances of this dispute concerning the provision of benefits for a disabled Employee under the terms of the Employer Benefit Plan. Background Facts On October 18, 1990, the Employee's spouse consulted a dental surgeon for the evaluation and treatment of severe facial swelling. The patient was scheduled for surgery on October 31, 1990. The dental surgeon extracted five abscessed teeth, performed an enucleation of an enlarged maxillary cyst, a biopsy to rule out malignancy, and an immediate reconstruction of the left maxillary defect with bone graft material. The biopsy confirmed a pre-operative diagnosis of a large odontogenic cyst of the left maxilla. The Employee has stated that the company administrator gave prior approval for the procedure. The Employer provided benefits for the dental services up to the scheduled amounts payable under its Dental Plan, and denied medical benefits under the Employer Benefit Plan for the remaining charges on the grounds that the services were dental services, and not covered by the Employer's Medical Benefit Plan.

It is the most common type of oral SCC, which accounts for over 75% of all malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity. Clinically, it is more common in men over 55 years of age, heavy smokers and heavy drinkers, more in males especially black males. However, it has been described in young white males, under the age of fifty non-smokers and non-drinkers. The latter group constitutes less than 5% of the patients and their SCCs tend to be in the posterior mouth (oropharynx and tosillar area) associated with HPV infection especially HPV type 16. The most common sites for the tobacco-associated are the lateral and ventral tongue, followed by the floor of mouth and soft palate area.

    A Guide to the Endodontic Literature Success & Failure: Authors Description European Soc. Definition of Success: Clinical symptoms originating from an endodontically-induced apical periodontitis should neither persist nor develop after RCT Endodontology (1994 IEJ): and the contours of the PDL space around the root should radiographically be normal. AAE Quality Assurance Objectives of NSRCT (= nonsurgical root canal treatment) Guidelines · Prevent adverse signs or symptoms · Remove RC contents · Create radiographic appearance of well obturated RC system · Promote healing and repair of periradicular tissues · Prevent further breakdown of periradicular tissues The Mantra: · Apical periodontitis (=AP; = periapical radiolucency =PARL) is caused primarily by bacteria in RC systems (Sundqvist 1976; Kakehashi 1965; Moller 1981) · If bacteria in canal systems are reduced to levels that are not detected by culturing, then high success rates are observed (Bystrom 1987; Sjogren 1997) · Best documented results for canal disinfection are chemomechanical debridement with Ca(OH)2 for at least 1week (Sjogren 1991) · Mechanical instrumentation alone (C&S) reduces bacteria by 100-1,000 fold. But only 20-43% of cases show complete elimination (Bystrom 1981; Bystrom & Sundqvist 1985) · Do C&S and add 0.5% NaOCl produces complete disinfection in 40-60% of cases (Bystrom 1983) · Do C&S with 0.5% NaOCl and add one week Ca(OH)2: get complete disinfection in 90-100% of cases (Bystrom 1985; Sjogren 1991).
