Presentation
The literature reporting this lesion as well as this mode of presentation has been reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Collapse
Repeated Neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser treatments failed to eradicate this cyst; it later extended into the sclera together with the collapse of the anterior chamber cyst. The possible mechanism underlying the development of these cysts is discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
One week after surgery, the corneal cystic lesion had completely collapsed, and no fluid was observed. [bmcophthalmol.biomedcentral.com]
Ears
-
Tinnitus
Lesions in this region usually present with hearing loss, tinnitus, dysequilibrium, headaches, facial numbness and occasionally trigeminal neuralgia. Our patient presented with the unusual phenomenon of episodic facial palsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Unilateral Proptosis
The subject of this report is the management of a congenital orbital epithelial cyst by needle aspiration in a newborn with ipsilateral esotropia and severe unilateral proptosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
-
Subcutaneous Mass
Cyst of eyelid typically present during adolescence and late adulthood, as a solitary, elevated, round, freely mobile subcutaneous mass with smooth overlying skin [ 3 ]. Epidermal cyst is common in cases of men. [omicsonline.org]

Facial Numbness
Lesions in this region usually present with hearing loss, tinnitus, dysequilibrium, headaches, facial numbness and occasionally trigeminal neuralgia. Our patient presented with the unusual phenomenon of episodic facial palsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cerebellar Sign
A 63-year-old male presented with a rare epithelial cyst in the left cerebellopontine angle manifesting as left facial nerve paresis and left cerebellar signs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Ataxia
We describe the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of an epithelial lined cyst in the cerebellopontine angle of a 54-year-old man who presented with headaches, ataxia, and multiple cranial nerve dysfunction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Enlargement of the Spleen
Ultrasonography proved the cystic nature of the enlargement of the spleen in all the cases. Marsupialization was performed in one patient and removal of the cysts in the other two. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
The current report should not be taken as an argument against cyst removal, which is the established way of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
[…] this highly lauded three-volume reference provides an interdisciplinary approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of head and neck diseases, including the incidence, etiology, clinical presentation, pathology, differential diagnosis, and prognosis [books.google.com]
MRI Well-defined cystic lesions with internal homogeneous fluid signal intensity: T1: low signal intensity T2: very high signal intensity Treatment and prognosis Small and asymptomatic cysts do not require treatment or followup. [radiopaedia.org]
[…] decade location the distal phalanx is commonly involved Pathophysiology results from a penetrating injury that drives keratinizing epithelium into subcutaneous tissues or bone cells grow slowly to produce an epithelial cell-lined cyst filled with keratin Prognosis [orthobullets.com]
Prognosis of surgically removed cysts ultimately depends on the histology. [patient.info]

(Etiology) Epithelial Inclusion Cysts of Skin are caused by displaced epithelium that occurs due to variety of factors including trauma and abnormal congenital epithelial remnants during fetal growth and development Surgical trauma is also an important [dovemed.com]
There is no proven etiology, although patients with cysts along the free edge of the fold often are vocally hyperactive. Treatment of cysts, except for those arising on the free edge of the vocal fold, is simple unroofing (marsupialization). [bumc.bu.edu]
In practice, both primary and secondary cysts are often described simply as "splenic cyst" for the sake of simplicity, as often the specific etiology is not evident. [radiopaedia.org]
Epidemiology
Introduction A painless, benign, slow-growing soft tissue tumor that often occurs in the hand occurs months to years after a traumatic event Epidemiology incidence third most common hand tumor demographics more common in men than women occurs in the third [orthobullets.com]
Epidemiology Benign ovarian tumours occur in 30% of females with regular menses (eg, luteal cysts as incidental findings on pelvic scans) and 50% of females with irregular menses. [patient.info]
Chronic irritation or repetitive trauma to the epithelial lining of the cyst has been suggested to play a role in malignant transformation; however, this relationship has not been established. [44] Epidemiology Race No racial predilection has been identified [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology
However, considering that the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of these cysts are unclear, VP shunting should be considered especially for recurrent cases accompanied by hydrocephalus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although developmental and traumatic etiologies have been postulated, the exact pathophysiology of corneoscleral cysts remains unclear [ 1, 2 ]. [em-consulte.com]

Epidermoid cysts are benign lesions; however, very rare cases of various associated malignancies have been reported. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13] Pathophysiology Epidermoid cysts result from the proliferation of epidermal cells within a circumscribed [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
To prevent spontaneous rupture, laparotomy was performed, and the cyst was pathologically diagnosed as a splenic epithelial cyst. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Current medical research has not established a method of preventing Epithelial Inclusion Cysts of Skin. [dovemed.com]
Recurrence can be prevented after removal of the cyst that is located in the sclera outside of the limbus. [bmcophthalmol.biomedcentral.com]
Pharmacological inhibition of Rac and Cdc42 did not prevent the development of blebbistatin-induced spikes. [jcs.biologists.org]
