Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Pathology

Background:

  • Epidermoid and dermoid cysts are rare oral cavity lesions, accounting for less than 0.01% of all such cysts.
  • Epidermoid cysts are characterized by an epithelial lining, distinguishing them from dermoid and teratoid cysts.
  • These cysts can present with symptoms like dysphagia and difficulty with mastication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of a large epidermoid cyst with both oral and submental components in a pediatric patient.
  • To highlight the diagnostic approach, including MRI findings, for complex oral cysts.
  • To describe the surgical management and histological confirmation of an oral epidermoid cyst.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of an 11-year-old boy with a 3-year history of oral mass and functional deficits.
  • Diagnostic imaging utilizing MRI to delineate the cyst's size, location, and characteristics.
  • Surgical excision under general anesthesia with nasotracheal intubation, followed by histological examination.

Main Results:

  • MRI revealed a well-circumscribed 40 x 35 mm cystic mass extending from the sublingual area to the thyroid notch.
  • Histological examination confirmed an epidermoid cyst, identified by characteristic stratum corneum and stratum granulosum.
  • The patient experienced a favorable postoperative outcome with no recurrence at 6-month follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Large epidermoid cysts with combined oral and submental components are rare but surgically manageable.
  • Accurate diagnosis through imaging and histology is crucial for effective treatment planning.
  • Complete surgical excision provides a good prognosis for pediatric patients with oral epidermoid cysts.
