An intratesticular simple cyst is a rare lesion. The pathogenesis of such lesions is uncertain. Clinically, an intratesticular simple cyst may be difficult to differentiate from a cystic neoplasm. However, preoperative diagnosis is possible using ultrasonography (US). Testis-sparing surgery with simple enucleation of the cyst has a favorable outcome. We report an intratesticular simple cyst in a 48-year-old male who had a non-tender cystic mass in the right testis for 2 years. The diagnosis was made by preoperative US. The patient underwent a testis-sparing surgery. After simple excision of the cyst, histological examination revealed a simple cyst lined by ciliated cuboidal and columnar epithelium.

Simple bone cyst is a pseudocyst that typically occurs in patients during their second and third decades of life. This benign entity is an empty or fluid-filled cavity that lacks a true epithelial lining. Simple bone cysts are often asymptomatic and are commonly found in mandibular body, predominantly in the posterior region. The treatment of simple bone cysts can be influenced by factors such as the patient's age, the size of the lesion, and the presence or absence of symptoms. In the case of a simple bone cyst in the mandible that is small and symptomless, a watchful waiting approach may be appropriate. However, if the cyst is large and symptomatic, surgical treatment is recommended. This report presents a radiological examination of a simple bone cyst that developed around the root of the mandibular first molar in a 36-year-old female patient. The cyst recurred in adjacent areas despite surgical treatment.

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.

Cysts of the mandibular condyle are rare and can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Clinically, a simple bone cyst is asymptomatic and often discovered incidentally on routine radiographic examination. This report shows an atypical simple bone cyst occurring in the mandibular condyle showing recurrence after surgical curettage. Radiologically, this lesion involving the mandibular condyle should be distinguished from other similar lesions such as a chondroma, a central giant cell granuloma, and an aneurysmal bone cyst. Radiographic assessment was useful for forecasting the prognosis of a simple bone cyst. Possible reasons for the recurrence were discussed radiographically.

Acromioclavicular joint cyst is a extremely rare condition, usually occuring in the presence of a wide communication between glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joint in patients with a full thickness rotator cuff tear. Removal of cyst only is reported with high recurrence rate. There was no case previously reported in Korea. We report a case of recurred acromioclavicular joint cyst with a massive rotator cuff tear after simple excision, which was treated by excision of cyst, acromioplasty and resection of the lateral end of the clavicle.

Most simple bone cysts are found in the metaphysis of the long bone, such as proximal humerus or proximal femur. Appropriate treatment is aspiration of the cyst followed by instillation of methylprednisolone or curettage with bone graft. We experienced 1 case of the simple bone cyst of the metatarsal bone. This case was treated by curettage and inserting allograft into the defect.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the result of endoscopic assisted curettage and bone graft for the treatment of simple bone cyst in the calcaneus. Materials and Methods: Three cases in three patients who had curettage and bone graft of simple bone cyst in the calcaneus under endoscopic view were prospectively reviewed. A minimum follow-up of 1 year was required for entrance into the study. The results of treatment were clinically and radiologically assessed. Results: One case with preoperative heel pain gained complete relief of the pain at postoperative four weeks. All three cases had radiological union of grafted bone at an average of thirteen weeks after the operation. Shortened hospitalization and decreased postoperative pain were remarkable. Complications such as infection, skin necrosis, nerve injury, and, fracture were not seen. There was no evidence of the recurrence of the cyst in all three cases. Conclusion: Endoscopic assisted curettage and bone graft of simple bone cyst in the calcaneus is thought as an effective alternative procedure avoiding the possible complications of the classic method.

Purpose: Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or pockets within or on the surface of an ovary. Most cysts present little or no discomfort and are noncancerous and harmless. So non-surgical treatments with herbal medicine or acupuncture and moxa therapy are important and suitable in this pathology. But there are few RCT articles about ovarian cyst in Korean Medicine(KM) clinical and research field. Methods: To review treatment method and other research tendency about ovarian cyst in journals related with KM and Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) through web-searching. Searching was done through web site #http://omis.ksucc.ac.kr# and pub-med(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez) with key words #ovarian cyst#, #TCM#, #herb#, #CAM#, and #acupuncture#. Results: Seven articles were searched in journals related with KM, then six of them were simple case report and the other one was about diagnosis for ovarian cyst and another gynecologic disease such as uterine myoma and infertility through the iris diagnosis. And two articles were searched in journals related with TCM, then one of them was simple case report but the other is RCT article. Conclusion: KM and TCM therapies have some beneficial effect to resolve cyst, but objective power as a evidence is weak in the viewpoint of EBM. So continuous clinical trials such as RCT and multi center trials are needed.

목적: 단순 골 낭종에 대해 관찰 요법 또는 국소적 스테로이드 주입술을 통한 보존적 치료를 시행한 결과에 대하여 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년 2월부터 2010년 5월까지 단순 골 낭종으로 진단된 153명 중 보존적 치료만을 시행한 126명을 대상으로 하였다. 진단시 평균 연령은 14세(${\pm}9$세, 2-60세)였으며 평균 추시 관찰 기간은 41개월(${\pm}37$개월, 12-159개월)이었다. 보존적 치료의 치료 결과에 대해 변형 Neer 분류로 나누어 비교하였다. 결과: 단순 골 낭종으로 진단되어 보존적 치료를 실시한 환자 중 관찰 요법만 실시한 경우는 31예(24.6%)였고, 스테로이드 주입술을 실시한 경우는 95예(75.4%)였다. 보존적 치료 후의 결과는 변형 Neer 분류상 치유에 해당하는 Grade I, II가 102예(80.9%)였다. 결론: 단순 골 낭종의 일차적 치료로 보존적 치료를 고려하여야 한다.
