Filter by:Intraorbital epidermoid and dermoid cyst (DC) has been reported in the literature rarely. The current study evaluates clinicopathologic, radiologic, and management of intraorbital DC cases over ten years.
Ovarian dermoid cyst, also known as benign mature teratoma, originate from germ cells in the ovary, and is the most common benign ovarian tumor (44-70%). Several reports documented a secretion of NMDA receptor antibodies from dermoid cyst. This receptor is found in different areas in the central nerves system (CNS) and the presence of plasma antibodies has been shown as a rare cause of neurologic presentation term paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome, which can be characterized by mood disorder, psychiatric and neurologic symptoms. In several case reports on young women, first presented with nonspecific neurologic symptoms, then followed by rapid deterioration of conscious, seizures and the need for ventilation support, ovarian teratoma was diagnosed. In 2007 an association between N-Methyl-D-Aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor antibody and encephalitis was first described. More than 50% of paraneoplastic encephalitis were related to teratomas, most often from an ovarian origin. Therapy includes tumor resection, steroids, plasmapheresis and immunosuppressive drugs. The investigators recently published a retrospective cohort study analyzing 233 patients who were operated in their institution with pathology proven dermoid. In this study 2 patients presented with paraneoplastic syndrome (0.85%). No prospective study has been published to date to examine the association between antibody titer and dermoid cyst characteristics and the paraneoplastic phenomenon. The investigators wish to conduct a prospective study in which plasma samples will be obtained from patients asymptomatic for neurologic or psychiatric symptoms, undergoing surgery for ovarian dermoid cyst, due to gynecology indication (e.g size, symptoms) in order to identify antibodies against CNS NMDA-R in their plasma prior to cyst removal. If NMDA receptor antibodies will be discovered in asymptomatic patients it may be prudent to examine all serums of women who are diagnosed with ovarian mature teratoma, and offer a surgical removal in order to prevent a possible neurologic sequela in the presence of these antibodies.
Benign ovarian cysts are frequent during women's life. They are diagnosed with pelvic pain or fortuitously during an ultra-sonographic exam. In case of persistence,a surgery will be necessary to identify the nature of the cyst and assess its benignity. In some case, cysts are recurrent and multiple surgeries are needed leading to a significant risk of ovarian damage by follicular depletion. Oocyte cryopreservation is no longer considered as an experimental technique of Fertility Preservation since 2013 as it has been recognized to be efficient and safe. According to reproductive medicine scientific committees and the French ethic law, fertility preservation has to be proposed in every situation of infertility risk. To date, there is no cohort study dedicated to fertility preservation by oocyte freezing in this specific subgroup of patients. The purpose of the study is to prospectively evaluate the oocyte number and quality after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in patients with recurrent ovarian cysts.
This study is to inquiry the contrast sensitivity function in the 50 eyes of limbal dermoid children with keratoplasty with quick contrast sensitivity function (quick CSF) test, as well asa to analyze its relationship between visual quality.
The purpose of the study is to explore whether femtosecond laser-assisted corneal epithelial autograft is more effective than femtosecond laser-assisted limbal autograft for ocular surface reconstruction after excision of limbal dermoid.
Pilonidal dermoid cyst surgery under general anesthesia and regional anesthesia techniques is used.regional anesthesia techniques; spinal, epidural, spinal epidural (combined) and is the local anesthesia.In the investigators study, pilonidal dermoid cyst surgery in spinal and epidural anesthesia techniques activity, reliability will be compared to the side effects and complications. One hundred patients will be randomly assigned to either the pilonidal dermoid cyst under Spinal anaesthesia (50 patients)(Group 1) or pilonidal dermoid cyst under epidural anaesthesia (50 patients)(Group 2). Group 1 will be used in spinal catheter in spinal anesthesia procedures or Group 2 will be used epidural catheter in epidural anaesthesia procedures.All patients has symptomatic pilonidal dermoid cyst.
Minimally invasive surgery has become the standard treatment for many gynecologic disease processes. In the last decade, numerous studies have demonstrated that laparoscopic approaches to various gynecologic oncology conditions-particularly for early-stage endometrial and cervical cancers as well as select pelvic masses-is feasible and results in shorter hospital stays, improved quality of life and comparable surgical and oncologic outcomes to abdominal staging.For instance, the typical gynecologic robotic surgical procedure will require Two to three 5-mm ports and one 12-mm laparoscopic ports. Recently, an even less invasive alternative to conventional laparoscopy surgery has been developed: laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), also known as single-port surgery. Single port laparoscopy is an attempt to further enhance the cosmetic benefits of minimally invasive surgery while minimizing the potential morbidity associated with multiple incisions. Preliminary advances in LESS as applied to urologic and gastrointestinal surgery demonstrate that the techniques are feasible provided that both optimal surgical technical expertise with advanced skills and optimal instrumentation are available. Recently, several publication showed the single port laparoscopic surgery is feasibility in gynecologic surgery including oophorectomy, cystecomty, and myomecomty. To our knowledge, the sample size of recent publication about single port surgery including cystectomy and myomecomty is small. Furthermore, these studies lack the comparison of single port and convectional laparoscopic surgery. Base on our recent study demonstrated that either the single-port or the conventional approach can be used for LAVH, but the single-port LAVH technique yielded less postoperative pain (Chen et al., Obestet Gynecol, 2011). The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of single port laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of benign gynecologic disease.
RATIONALE: PD 0332991 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well PD 0332991 works in treating patients with refractory solid tumors.
This phase I trial is studying how well ipilimumab works after allogeneic stem cell transplant in treating patients with persistent or progressive cancer. Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
