DictionarySeecysteruption cyst
e·rup·tion cysta form of dentigerous cyst in the soft tissues in conjunction with an erupting tooth; seen on the alveolar ridge of children.cyst (sist) [Gr. kystis, bladder, sac] 1. A closed sac or pouch with a definite wall, containing fluid, semifluid, or solid material. It is usually an abnormal structure resulting from developmental anomalies, obstruction of ducts, or parasitic infection. 2. In biology, a structure formed by and enclosing certain organisms in which they become inactive, such as the cyst of certain protozoans or of the metacercariae of flukes.adventitious cystA cyst formed around a foreign body. alveolar cystDilation and rupture of pulmonary alveoli to form air cysts.apical cystA cyst near the apex of the root of a nonvital tooth.arachnoid cystAn abnormal collection of cerebrospinal fluid within the arachnoid membrane. The cysts may compress nearby structures within the brain. In infants, they may cause headaches, altered mental status, learning disabilities, or enlargement of the head. In adults, they are an occasional cause of epilepsy. Baker cyst See: Baker cyst.Bartholin cyst See: Bartholin, Caspar (the younger)blood cystHematoma.blue dome cyst1. A mammary cyst containing light, straw-colored fluid, which appears blue when seen through the surrounding tissue. 2. A small dark-blue cyst in the vagina caused by retained menstrual blood seen in endometriosis. branchial cystCervical cyst.bone cystA cystic mass in bone, usually a normal variant or a benign tumor.Boyer cyst See: Boyer cystcervical cystA closed epithelial sac derived from a branchial groove of its corresponding pharyngeal pouch. Synonym: branchial cystchocolate cystAn ovarian cyst with darkly pigmented gelatinous contents.colloid cystA cyst with gelatinous contents.complex cystA cyst that consists of solid material and fluid-filled cavities; it may have walls of tissue inside it or internal echoes. When a complex cyst is identified on ultrasound, surgical removal is generally indicated to exclude malignancy. congenital cystA cyst present at birth and resulting from abnormal development, such as a dermoid cyst, imperfect closure of a structure as in spina bifida cystica, or nonclosure of embryonic clefts, ducts, or tubules, such as cervical cysts.daughter cystA cyst growing out of the walls of another cyst. dental cystA cyst that forms from any of the odontogenic tissues. dentigerous cystA fluid-filled, epithelial-lined cyst usually surrounding the crown of a tooth that is erupting or has not yet erupted. The tooth normally erupts through the cyst without treatment. Synonym: eruption cyst; follicular cyst; follicular odontomadermoid cyst1. An ovarian teratoma. 2. A nonmalignant cystic tumor containing elements derived from the ectoderm, such as hair, teeth, or skin. These tumors occur frequently in the ovary but may develop in other organs such as the lungs. distention cystA cyst formed in a natural enclosed cavity, such as a follicular cyst of the ovary.echinococcus cystHydatid cyst.endometrial cystAn ovarian cyst or tumor lined with endometrial tissue, usually seen in ovarian endometriosis.epidermoid cystA cyst filled with keratin, sebum, and skin debris that may form on the scalp, the back of the neck, or the axilla. It is benign andf can be removed surgically. Synonym: sebaceous cysteruption cystDentigerous cyst.extravasation cystA cyst arising from hemorrhage or escape of other body fluids into tissues.exudation cystA cyst caused by trapping of an exudate in a closed area.FOLLICULAR CYST: Follicular cysts seen on ultrasonography of the thyroid gland.follicular cystA cyst arising from a follicle, as a follicular cyst of the thyroid gland, the ovary, or a forming tooth. Synonym: dentigerous cyst See: illustrationganglion cystganglion (2)Gartner cyst See: Gartner cystGorlin cyst See: Gorlin cysthydatid cystA cyst formed by the growth of the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus, usually in the liver. Synonym: echinococcus cystimplantation cystA cyst resulting from displacement of portions of the epidermis, as may occur in injuries.intraligamentary cystA cystic formation between the layers of the broad ligament.involutional cystA cyst occurring in the normal involution of an organ or structure, as in the mammary gland.keratin cystA cyst containing keratin.cysts of liverSimple cysts, usually small and single; or hydatid cysts; or cysts associated with cystic disease of the liver, a rare condition usually associated with congenital cystic kidneys. See: Echinococcus granulosus; hydatidmeibomian cystChalazion.meniscus cystA fluid-filled cyst often associated with a degenerative horizontal meniscal tear, more frequently seen in the lateral meniscus of the knee. This ganglion-like cyst may present with a palpable mass at the joint line of the knee and can be visualized by magnetic resonance imaging. morgagnian cyst See: Morgagni, Giovanni BMorgagni cyst See: Morgagni, Giovanni Bmother cystA hydatid cyst enveloping smaller ones. mucous cystA retention cyst composed of mucus. nabothian cystA cyst caused by closure of the ducts of the nabothian glands in the uterine cervix as a result of chronic cervicitis. odontogenic cystA cyst associated with the teeth, such as a dentigerous or radicular cyst.ovarian cystA fluid-filled cyst that develops in the ovary and consists of one or more chambers. The main types of cysts are follicular cysts, the corpus luteum, teratoma, and endometrioma. The patient's primary complaint is generally pelvic pain or pain during intercourse. The cysts may be palpated during bimanual examination but are diagnosed by ultrasound. Many cysts resolve spontaneously. Although nonmalignant, the cyst may have to be removed surgically because of twisting of the pedicle, which causes gangrene, or because of pressure. See: polycystic ovary syndromeparasitic cystA cyst enclosing the larval form of certain parasites, such as the cysticercus or hydatid of tapeworms or the larva of certain nematodes, i.e., Trichinella. parovarian cystA cyst of the parovarium.periapical cystRadicular cyst.pilar cystAn epithelial cyst with a wall that resembles the follicular epithelium. It is filled with a homogeneous mixture of keratin and lipid. Synonym: trichilemma cystpilonidal cystA cyst most often in the sacrococcygeal region, usually at the upper end of the intergluteal cleft. It is due to a developmental defect that permits epithelial tissue to be trapped below the skin or may be acquired. This type of cyst may become symptomatic in early adulthood when an infected draining sinus forms. Synonym: pilonidal fistulapopliteal cystBaker cyst.porencephalic cystAn anomalous cavity of the brain that communicates with the ventricular system.proliferative cystA cyst lined with epithelium that proliferates, forming projections that extend into the cavity of the cyst. radicular cystA necrotic, inflammatory cyst that develops at the root of a nonvital tooth. The cyst is attached to the root of the tooth and may be lateral to it if the cyst is associated with a lateral pulp canal. Synonym: periapical cyst; root-end cystretention cystA cyst retaining the secretion of a gland, as in a mucous or sebaceous cyst.root-end cystRadicular cyst.sebaceous cystEpidermoid cyst.seminal cystA cyst of the epididymis, ductus deferens, or other sperm-carrying ducts that contain semen.suprasellar cystA cyst of the hypophyseal stalk just above the floor of the sella turcica. Its wall is frequently calcified or ossified. synovial cystAccumulation of synovia in a bursa, synovial crypt, or sac of a synovial hernia, causing a tumor.theca-lutein cystBenign 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. Synonym: hyperreactio luteinalistrichilemma cystPilar cyst.tubo-ovarian cystAn ovarian cyst that ruptures into the lumen of an adherent uterine tube.unilocular cystA cyst containing only one cavity. vaginal cystA cyst in the vagina.vitelline cystA congenital cyst of the gastrointestinal canal. Lined with ciliated epithelium, it is the remains of the omphalomesenteric duct. wolffian cystA cyst lying in one of the broad ligaments of the uterus.illustratione·rup·tion cyst (ē-rŭpshŭn sist) Dentigerous lesion in the soft tissues in conjunction with an erupting tooth; seen on the alveolar ridge of children. |
