The cyst may be unilocular or multilocular. The causes may be physiological, infectious, benign neoplastic, malignant neoplastic, or metastatic.The most important step in management is assessing the risk of malignancy.Oral contraceptives do not hasten or influence regression of benign ovarian cysts.Asymptomatic post-menopausal women with simple unilocular ovarian cysts <10 cm in diameter and cancer antigen (CA)-125 <35 U/mL can be managed conservatively with serial ultrasonography.Ultrasonography can

Relationship between DXA measured systemic bone mineral density and subchondral bone cysts in postmenopausal female patients with knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study : Osteoarthritis cysts and bone mineral density. Individuals with high systemic bone mineral density (BMD) may have an increased risk of incident knee osteoarthritis (OA). Besides that, radiographic osteophytes are strongly associated with BMD. Because of these reasons, the aim of the study was to investigate the possible association between radiological subchondral bone cyst (SBC) grade and systemic BMD and vitamin D status in the postmenopausal female patients with knee OA in a crosss-sectional study. This study included of 48 osteoporosis treatment-free postmenopausal patients diagnosed with symptomatic medial compartment
Revisiting the performance of cyst fluid carcinoembryonic antigen as a diagnostic marker for pancreatic mucinous cysts: a comprehensive 20-year institutional review. Elevated pancreatic cyst fluid carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been routinely used to classify mucinous cysts. This study incorporates original data that established the CEA ≥192 ng/mL threshold with over 20 years of additional data and reassesses the diagnostic performance of CEA for differentiating mucinous from non-mucinous cysts. 1169 pancreatic cysts (1999-2021) with CEA results were identified. 394 cases had histological confirmation as the diagnostic standard. Additionally, 237 cysts without histological confirmation demonstrated , , or mutations by molecular testing and were combined with the histologically
A case series of prenatal hepatic hilar cyst in the presence of a gallbladder - navigating the dilemma between biliary atresia and choledochal cyst. Prenatally diagnosed hepatic hilar cysts are a challenging finding for the clinician. They can either be a sign of cystic biliary atresia (BA) or a choledochal cyst (CC), two diagnoses with different postnatal management and prognosis. Based on a case report of four patients, we aim to propose a management algorithm for prenatally diagnosed "hepatic hilar cysts". A hepatic hilar cyst, ranging from 5 to 25 mm, was detected prenatally in all four girls confirmed postnatally along with the presence of a gallbladder. Stool color was normal until two weeks of life at which time the stool color became lighter, and the patients developed cholestasis
Evaluation of cyst treatment technique, cyst type, size differences and healing by fractal analysis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the trabeculation increase of treated mandibular cysts. The study included 26 female and 33 male patients (age mean: 38,4 years) with cysts larger than 3 cm in the posterior region of the mandible who were admitted to the same center. Two groups in treatment technique: marsupialization (n = 29) and enucleation (n = 30). Four groups in cyst types: dentigerous cyst (n = 21), keratocyst (n = 19), radicular cyst (n = 15) and residual cyst (n = 4). Cyst size was divided into two categories: smaller than 5.5 cm (n = 31) and larger than 5.5 cm (n = 28). Panoramic radiographs (PR) of the patients were analyzed at the beginning, 6. month and 12. month. At the end
Notch2 Inhibition and Kidney Cyst Growth in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease. Notch signaling, a conserved mechanism of cell-to-cell communication, plays a crucial role in regulating cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation in a context-dependent manner. However, the specific contribution of Notch signaling to the progression of polycystic kidney disease (PKD ) remains unclear. We investigated the changes in Notch signaling activity (Notch1-4) in the kidneys of autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD) patients and two ADPKD mouse models (early and late onset). Multiple genetic and pharmacologic approaches were used to explore Notch2 signaling during kidney cyst formation in PKD. Notch2 expression was significantly increased in the kidney tissues of ADPKD patients
