Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fi bro-osseous lesion wherein normal bone is replaced with an excessive proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue intermixed with irregular bony trabeculae. Fibro-osseous lesions like fibrous dysplasia are often associated with non-epithelial cysts, such as simple bone cyst. The etiologic and pathogenic relationships between fi brous dysplasia and simple bone cyst have not been conclusively established. Nonetheless, the mechanism of cyst formation in fibro-osseous lesion associated with simple bone cyst can be said to differ from that of the typical simple bone cyst of the jaws. This article reports a case of bilateral lesions including fi brous dysplasia and simple bone cyst on each site and reviews the pathogenesis of cyst formation in the fibro-osseous lesion.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate clinical outcomes and radiological findings of cyst formation in the glenoid around suture anchors after arthroscopic Bankart repair with either biocomposite suture anchor or all-suture anchor in traumatic anterior shoulder instability. We hypothesized that there would be no significant difference in clinical and radiological outcomes between the two suture materials. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 162 patients (69 in group A, biocomposite anchor; 93 in group B, all-suture anchor) who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair of traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder instability with less than 20% glenoid defect on preoperative en-face view three-dimensional computed tomography. Patient assignment was not randomized. Results: At final follow-up, the mean subjective shoulder value, Rowe score, and University of California, Los Angeles shoulder score improved significantly in both groups. However, there were no significant differences in functional shoulder scores and recurrence rate (6%, 4/69 in group A; 5%, 5/93 in group B) between the two groups. On follow-up magnetic resonance arthrography/computed tomography arthrography, the incidence of peri-anchor cyst formation was 5.7% (4/69) in group A and 3.2% (3/93) in group B, which was not a significant difference. Conclusions: Considering the low incidence of peri-anchor cyst formation in the glenoid after Bankart repair with one of two anchor systems and the lack of association with recurrence instability, biocomposite and all-suture anchors in Bankart repair yield satisfactory outcomes with no significant difference.

Epidermal inclusion cyst is a common mass in life. It is covered with a stratified squamous epithelium, thus, there is a granular cell layer adjacent to the keratin-containing cyst lumen. It can be caused by mechanical force, trauma, or a spontaneous event. It can rupture spontaneously or be ruptured by external mechanical forces. Epidermal inclusion cysts that exhibit inflammation or recur should be removed by simple excision. In this case, the patient showed an epidermal inclusion cyst under an anterolateral thigh free flap, which can cause the palpable mass to go unnoticed. First we thought he had neuroma formation after a surgical procedure on his foot. However it was an epidermal inclusion cyst, which was diagnosed by a special pathologist. It is a curious and rare case.

Spontaneous subcutaneous cysts were detected from three dogs, being a 4-year-old male shih tzu, an 11-month-old female britany spaniel and a 9-month-old male mongrel. All the cysts were occurred around the joints (one elbow's and two shoulderes', respectively). After surgical removal, the lesions did not recur for 6 months follow-up. Neither cyst communicated with the joint cavity. Grossly, the subcutaneous ovoid cysts had moderate to abundant mucinous fluid. Histologically, the cyst wall consisted of inner myxomatous and outer immature connective tissue. Some parts of the cyst wall had various stages of myxoid metaplasia of collagen tissue leading to new cyst formation. The true lining cells of the inner cyst wall were not observed in all the cysts. From these results, these cases were diagnosed as subcutaneous ganglion cysts. This is the first report of canine subcutaneous ganglion cysts in Korea.

Many tumors have been reported to coexist with cerebral aneurysm. However, intracranial dermoid cysts associated with cerebral aneurysm are very rare. We report a case in which rupture of a cerebral aneurysm resulted in a ruptured dermoid cyst. We present this interesting case and review current literature about the relationship between tumors and aneurysm formation.

Reported cases of a large dentigerous cyst involving the whole maxillary sinus are uncommon. A 22-year-old female patient suffering from swelling of the right infraorbital area and cheek with dull pain was referred to our department. Findings on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a huge mass containing a displaced maxillary third molar involving the right maxillary sinus as a whole, with partial erosion of the posterior sinus cortical bone. Under general anesthesia, the mass was enucleated using the Caldwell-Luc approach, and, following histopathological analysis, was diagnosed as a dentigerous cyst. The case was followed for a period of seven years, and no evidence of sinus infection or recurring cyst formation was observed during that time.

Chylous mesenteric cyst is a rare variant of mesenteric cystic lesions. Pathologically there is lack of communication of the main lymphatic vessels, resulting in cystic mass formation. Clinical presentation is diverse and can range from an incidentally apparent abdominal mass to symptoms of an acute abdomen. A 5-year-old girl presented with abdominal distension without pain. CT scan showed a huge and thin-walled cystic mass without solid portion. Laparotomy showed a $20{\times}18cm$ sized huge mesenteric cyst containing chylous fluid. Pathological diagnosis was cystic lymphangioma.

Histological investigation of the number of follicles following gonadotropin treatments for superovulation was carried out in mature Sprague-Dwaley(SD) rats. Routinely serial sections of paraffin-embedded ovaries were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and evaluated with light microscope. During the study unusual cases of microscopic alterations were observed in the medulla of ovaries in two rats. Case one: An ovum and its follicular fluid outflowed in medulla of ovary. The follicular fluid was densly proteinuous. Corona raiata consisted of 2-6 layers thick cells in the periphery of the ovum. While the cortical side of the follicular wall was intact with normal granulosa cell layer the meullary side of it was ruptured. Case two: A large cyst was present in medulla of ovary hilus. The cyst occupied the entire medulla displacing the ovarian archetecture and enclosed by connective tissue and smooth muscle wall.

Purpose: Alloplastic implants, such as $Silastic^{(R)}$, $Supramid^{(R)}$, Porous polyethylene, $Teflon^{(R)}$ have been used to prevent reherniation of orbital tissue and are known to be inert for many years, though complications are infrequently reported many years after their insertion. Complications associated with implants are infrequent, but infection, orbital hemorrhage, implant extrusion, motility restriction, migration of implant causing dacryocystitis, cystic formation have been described. The latter was known as a rare late complication of blow-out fracture repair. Methods: We report the case of a discovery of a intraorbital hemorrhagic cyst which developed after silicon implant insertion. This patient developed diplopia, unilateral proptosis, exophthalmos, vertical dystopia, ectropion 10 years after repair of blow-out fracture. In this case, orbital CT scan revealed intraorbital cyst surrounding the orbital implant. At surgery, a fibrous capsule surrounded the silicon implant and was filled with mucin pools. Results: Proptosis, diplopia, exophthalmos, ectropion, vertical dystopia were resolved after surgical removal of the cyst and implant. Conclusion: This case illustrate that it is important for us to be aware of the complication of cyst formation around the silicon implants.

Dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic cyst which occurs in unerupted tooth crown. After the crown formation, enamel epithelium remnants surrounded continuously proliferates and it forms effusionfluid cyst and expands due to increased internal osmotic pressure. Treatments of cysts are mainly enucleation, marsupialization and de-compression. When deciding the way of treatment, the age of a patient, the anatomical circumstances, the region of lesion and the size of cyst should be considered. Marsupialization is that some parts of internal cystic wall would be converted into oral mucosa if the cyst is large size and is concerned about neighboring anatomic structure. It can be accompanied by enucleation later and eruption of related tooth can be possible. If there is a limitation of spontaneous tooth eruption, eruption of tooth can be induced by orthodontic apparatus. There were 3 patients had dentigerous cyst and underwent marsupialization, their impacted teeth had preserved and had induced eruption, all showing satisfactory results.
