Pyriform sinus cyst is a rare disease. This disease can be found by chance or appear as lymph nodes with cancer, infections, shortness of breath, or airway compromise, and can be an unusual cause of dysphonia. This paper presents a case of a pyriform sinus cyst in the pharyngeal wall of the left pyriform sinus, which presented as neck discomfort in a 63-year-old female. The plan was to remove this cyst with a transoral CO₂ laser because a CO₂ laser is a useful tool for removing cysts without bleeding and consuming time. The excision was performed successfully. Transoral laser pyriform sinus cyst excision is a simple, safe, and effective method for the treatment of pyriform sinus cysts. This procedure is likely to be used as a selective treatment when managing this condition.

Post operative maxillary cyst may arise after the surgical treatment for maxillary sinusitis with the symtoms of swelling, pain, and pus discharge in the buccal region. It is examined by Waters' view, panoramic view and other intraoral radiographs, but quite variable radiologically. Most of the cyst is seen round or ovoid shape radiolucency, destruction, expansion and thinning of the lateral wall or posterior wall, and roots of the adjacent teeth may be resorbed. We studied about 117 cases of the post operative maxillary cysts which diagnosed in department of oral and maxillofacial radiology, Seoul National University Hospital. We analyzed and obtained following results. 1. These cysts occured more frequently in male than in female and the incidence is highest in the 4th and 5th decade. 2. Initial radical operation of maxillary sinus were performed mainly between the age of 10 and 45 years, and about 60% of the patients were 15 to 25 years. 3. Pain and swelling on buccal area, pus discharge, and toothache are most chief compaints, seven cases were found at routine examination without symtoms. 4. Most of these cysts were unilocular with smooth and well-defined border. 5. The majority of the cysts occurred in the anterolateral wall of maxillary sinus. 6. Dental changes of the lesional area were loss of lamina dura and root resorption, but about 55% were not changed.

Thirteen-year-old girl complaining of the swelling and pain on the left midface visited our dental hospital. On the radiographic examination, well-defined radiolucent lesion with hyperostotic border was found in the left maxilla accompanying with the external root resorption of the involved teeth and the displaced second molar. CT showed calcified bodies, thinning of hard palate, inferior orbital wall and lateral wall of nasal fossa, and thinning and perforation of the buccal plate of the maxilla. Enucleation and curettage of the lesion and nasoantrostomy was carried out and histopathologic examination mainly showed a solid tumor tissue composed of odontogenic epithelium and pulp tissues admixed with dentin and enamel formation. And some part of reduced follicular epithelium of tooth germ showed a change mimicking calcifying odontogenic cyst. Taken together, we concluded the lesion is an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma with a change of calcifying odontogenic cyst.

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.

Background: Dermoid cysts of the auricular area are extremely rare. We report on six cases of auricular dermoid and epidermoid cyst, and differentiate dermoid cyst from epidermal cyst along with a review of the literature. Methods: Three cases involved a gradually enlarging mass of the superior and anterior aspect of the helix of their ear. Another two cases were located in the posterior aspect of the ear. Results: During the operation, a tumor was found just under the skin, not fixed mastoid or adjacent cartilage. Histologically, all specimens contained desquamated squamous epithelium and keratin in the lumen. However, two cases of posterior masses showed the presence of adnexal structures and three cases did not. Conclusion: A key in diagnosis of the dermoid cyst is the presence of adnexal structures. If the wall does not bear adnexal structures, the term epidermoid or keratin cyst is applied. Acquired cysts are most commonly of traumatic origin and result from an implantation or downward displacement of an epidermal fragment. Finally, the congenital epidermoid cyst grew at the upper part of the auricle; however, the dermoid cyst grew at the lower and posterior part of the auricle.

This study was carried out to monitor the response of ovaries and cyst according to treatment with GnRH or combination of GnRH and $PGF_2{\alpha}$ in dairy cows with ovarian follicular cysts. Thirty cows were diagnosed as having follicular cysts by rectal palpation, ultrasonography and progesterone (P4) assays. Ten cows were treated with GnRH (control), and the other twenty were treated with $PGF_2{\alpha}$ at 10 days after GnRH treatment. All the animals were re-examined by ultrasonography and blood was collected for the measurement of plasma P4 concentration at day 0 (the day of treatment), day 7, day 10, day 13, day 24 and day 34, respectively. In 30 cows that were diagnosed with follicular cysts, mean plasma P 4 concentrations on day -II and day -I were 0.3 ng/ml and 0.4 ng/ml. On day 10 increased as 2.7$\pm$0.2 ng/ml. Mean cystic wall thickness by ultrasonography on day -11 and day -I were 2.1 mm and 2.2 mm. In 9 cows responded on luteinization of cystic wall, cystic wall thickness was 3.9$\pm$0.5 mm at day 10 after GnRH treatment. The responses of ovaries until day 10 after GnRH treatment included development of corpus luteum in the ovary bearing the cyst or in the contralateral ovary (12 cows), luteinization of cystic wall (6 cows) and clouding of the anechoic antrum of cysts (2 cows). The ovarian responses according to the combination of GnRH and $PGF_2{\alpha}$ included regression of the corpus luteum (12 cows), increase (1 cow) and no change (1 cow) of cyst size until last examination, and complete disappearance on day 13 (6 cows), 23 (6 cows) and 34 (4 cows). Combination treatment group of GnRH and $PGF_2{\alpha}$ showed a higher pregnancy rate within 100 days after initial treatment (40.0 vs 65.0%) and shorter intervals from the treatment to conception (45.4$\pm$25.8 vs 53.5$\pm$31.4 days) compared with control. It was concluded that the administration of $PGF_2{\alpha}$ following GnRH treatment is effective in shortening the interval from treatment to conception in cows with follicular cyst. Also, this study suggested that the response of the cyst according to treatment revealed various types. Therefore, veterinarians should pay attention to monitor of the response of cystic ovaries after treatment, specially no change, slowly decrease or increasement of cyst size after treatment.

The dentigerous cyst originates through alteration of the reduced enamel epithelium after amelogenesis is completed, with accumulation of fluid between the layers of the enamel epithelium or between this epithelium and the tooth crown. It is always associated with unerupted teeth. There are two methods of treament which are generally accepted. One is the enucleation of the cystic sac in its entirety, the other is the Partch operation, or the marsupialization, by which the cyst is uncovered or "deroofed" and the cystic lining made continuous with the oral avity or surrounding structures. The present case report showed that in instance of dentigerous cyst & odontogenic keratocyst surgical enucleation followed by careful excision of all cyst wall was successfully carried out and recovery and healing were rapid and uncomplicated.

The author analyzed 243 cases clinically and radiographically which were diagnosed as odontogenic cyst in SNUH during 10 years (1974. 1 - 1983. 12). The obtained results were as follows: 1. This cyst occurred more frequently in male than in female and the incidence was the highest in the 3rd decade. 2. Maxilla was more frequently affected than mandible 3. Most of the odontogenic cysts were unilocular type (236 cases, 97.1%), showing distinct border (242 cases, 99.6%) with smooth margin (222 cases, 91.7%). 4. The adjacent teeth showed root resorption in 57 cases (23.5%), and root divergence in 52 cases (21.4%). 5. The cyst in lower jaw caused the displacement of the mandibular canal wall in 30 cases (31.25) 4. and root divergence in 52 5. 6. The cyst in upper jaw extended to the maxillary sinus in 61 cases (41.5%)

Bronchogenic cysts are uncommon congenital lesions which are derived from primitive foregut. Most of the bronchogenic cysts may occur at the tracheal bifurcation, both main bronchi, the lung parenchyme and the mediastinum. We experienced a case of bronchogenic cyst with a esophageal stalk. The diagnosis was made by simple chest x-ray and confirmed by bronchoscopy and chest CT. On the chest CT findings, 6.8X4.8 cm-sized oval shaped mass was located on the right posteroinferior side of the carina, elevating the right main bronchus and the thin wall of the mass was enhanced with contrast materials. On the operative findings, the esophagus and the cyst were connected with a stalk and the cyst was filled with mucinous materials. And on the histological findings, the mass was lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. Thus we report this case of bronchogenic cyst with review of literatures.
