In children it contains blastema and may develop into a Wilms tumor.myxoid cyst a nodular lesion usually overlying a distal interphalangeal finger joint in the dorsolateral or dorsomesial position, consisting of focal mucinous degeneration of the collagen of the dermis; not a true cyst, lacking an epithelial wall, it does not communicate with the underlying synovial space.Naboth's c's (nabothian c's) cysts that occur when mucus-producing glands in the columnar epithelium of the uterine cervix become covered over by squamous epithelium resulting from metaplasia; they are usually found in the transformation zone of the cervix. Called also Naboth's or nabothian follicles.nasoalveolar cyst (nasolabial cyst) a fissural cyst arising outside the bones at the junction of the globular portion of the medial nasal process, lateral nasal process, and maxillary process.odontogenic cyst one derived from epithelium, usually containing fluid or semisolid material, which develops during various stages of odontogenesis; nearly always enclosed within bone.parasitic cyst one forming around larval parasites (tapeworms, amebas, trichinae), such as a cyst" >hydatid cyst.periapical cyst a periodontal cyst involving the apex of an erupted tooth.perineurial cyst an outpouching of the perineurial space on the extradural portion of the posterior sacral or coccygeal nerve roots at the junction of the root and ganglion; it may cause low back pain and sciatica.periodontal cyst one in the periodontal ligament and adjacent structures, usually at the apex of the tooth (cyst" >periapical cyst).pilar cyst a type of cyst" >epidermal cyst, almost always found on the scalp, arising from the outer root sheath of the hair follicle.pilonidal cyst see pilonidal cyst.radicular cyst an epithelium-lined sac at the apex of a tooth.Rathke's c's (Rathke's cleft c's) groups of epithelial cells forming small colloid-filled cysts in the pars intermedia of the pituitary gland; they are vestiges of pouch" >Rathke's pouch and are closely related to craniopharyngiomas.retention cyst a tumorlike accumulation of a secretion formed when the outlet of a secreting gland is obstructed. These cysts may develop in any of the secretory glands, such as the breast, pancreas, kidney, salivary or sebaceous glands, or mucous membranes.sarcosporidian cyst sarcocyst (def. 2).sebaceous cyst see sebaceous cyst.solitary bone cyst a pathologic bone space in the metaphyses of long bones of growing children; it may be either empty or filled with fluid and have a delicate connective tissue lining.subchondral cyst a bone cyst within the fused epiphysis beneath the articular plate.tarry cyst 1. one resulting from hemorrhage into a corpus luteum.2. a bloody cyst resulting from endometriosis.theca-lutein cyst a cyst of the ovary in which the cystic cavity is lined with theca cells.traumatic bone cyst a cavity (not a true cyst) formed in bone, particularly the mandible, in response to trauma.

theca-lutein cyst

Benign enlargement of the Graafian follicle, typically occurring in pregnancies (particularly in multiple pregnancies) or in other conditions that cause markedly elevated levels of serum human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels, e.g., molar pregnancies or choriocarcinomas.
