epidermal cyst/vomiting

A 13-year-old castrated male miniature dachshund dog was presented with chronic vomiting and diarrhea. Contrast radiography and surgical exploration revealed an ileal cyst, which was excised. A diagnosis of epidermoid cyst was made from a combination of the clinical findings and histological

Case description: A 10-year-old 7-kg (15.4-lb) neutered male Shih Tzu was referred for evaluation because of a sudden onset of dullness and intermittent vomiting of 1 to 2 weeks' duration. Two days prior to evaluation, clinical signs had

Congenital nasal epidermoid cyst without associated facial dysmorphism is an uncommon anomaly that is often asymptomatic. We report a case of occult nasal epidermoid cyst in a 12-year-old boy with initial nonspecific symptoms of fever, headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. An enhanced

A 3-year-old cat was presented with anorexia and vomiting. Palpation revealed a caudal abdominal mass. Ultrasound and explorative abdominal surgery revealed a cystic mass in the jejunum. Histopathologic findings were consistent with an epidermoid cyst. The cyst was likely of congenital origin, since

A 10-year-old girl presented with a brainstem epidermoid cyst manifesting as dysphagia and post-prandial vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed a cystic mass in the brainstem with associated hydrocephalus. She was treated under a presumptive diagnosis of abscess until the definitive

Background and importance: Epidermoid cysts are rare, benign intracranial neoplasms that typically arise at the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and can be extensive lesions that intricately involve many critical neurovascular structures. We

Epidermoid cysts (ECs) are uncommon pediatric tumors that often occur in the cerebellopontine angle. Although cyst rupture is a recognized complication, the radiographic evolution of an EC following rupture and the resultant parenchymal brainstem edema have not been reported. The authors present the

Cystic disease of the spleen is not frequently encountered in surgical practice. It is broadly classified as parasitic and non-parasitic, the latter being a rare entity. In this case report, an epidermoid cyst of spleen led to acute abdomen in young age pregnant woman is presented. A 26-year-old

A huge, intradiploic, right temporoparietal epidermal cyst was known to be present, unchanged in extent, for over 14 years in a 55-year-old man. Although extreme mass effect was demonstrated by computed tomography scans, results of the neurological examination were within normal limits. Treatment of

This is a case of an epidermoid cyst in an intrapancreatic accessory spleen at the tail of the pancreas. Concurrent epidermoid cyst within the accessory spleen is an exceedingly rare entity. The patient initially presented with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Imaging studies revealed a 3.6 cm

Malignant transformation of an epidermoid tumour is a rare entity that in almost all patients occurs at the same site of the primary lesion. We report a case of an epidermoid tumour with malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at the adjacent site but without any relation to the

A malignant component in an epidermoid cyst is rare. We report an exceptionally rare case of a malignant melanoma arising in an epidermoid cyst located in the cerebellopontine (CP) angle. A 26-year-old woman presented with headache, vomiting, ataxia and difficulty in swallowing over the previous 3

We reported a unique case of posttraumatic giant infratentorial extradural intradiploic epidermoid cyst. A 54-year-old male, with a previous history of an open scalp injury and underlying linear skull fracture in the left occipital region in childhood, presented with a painful subcutaneous swelling,

We report a rare case of a cystic mass in an appendix in a patient who presented nausea, vomiting, and sharp pain in lower right abdomen and mimicking acute appendicitis. Although this entity is very rare, careful physical observation, imaging, and pathology can be helpful to make an accurate

Intracranial epidermoid tumours are very rare lesions of ectodermal origin that account for 1% of all intracranial tumours. The favourite sites affected by these tumours are the cerebellopontine angle and the chiasmal region. They also appear in the cerebral hemisphere and the intraventricular
