AI Article Synopsis
- A case study of a 47-year-old man with an intra-scrotal inclusion epidermoid cyst was reported, noting a growth in the right hemiscrotum over seven months.
- The mass, confirmed through physical examination and ultrasound, had negative testicular tumor markers, leading to a successful trans-scrotal excision.
- Pathological analysis confirmed the cyst type, and the patient is currently asymptomatic with no recurrence, emphasizing the need for standardized naming and treatment guidelines for such lesions.
Article Abstract
Objectives: We report a new case of intra-scrotal inclusion epidermoid cyst.
Methods: We describe the case of a 47-year-old male patient who referred an increase in size of the right hemiscrotum lasting seven months. Physical examination evidenced an intra scrotal mass of elastic consistency, which was confirmed by ultrasound. Testicular tumour markers were negative. Trans-scrotal excision of the lesion was performed.
Results: Pathology was compatible with inclusion epidermoid cyst. The patient remains asymptomatic on follow-up visits, without evidence of lesion relapse.
Conclusions: We highlight the importance of establishing a nomenclature consensus for scrotal cystic lesions. We agree with other authors on the indication of simple excision of the lesion as a treatment with intention-to-cure. However, the limited number of cases makes the long-term follow-up of these patients recommendable.

Diarrhea associated with enteric infections, gut inflammation, and genetic defects poses a major health burden and results in significant morbidity and mortality. Impaired fluid and electrolyte absorption and/or secretion in the intestine are the hallmark of diarrhea. Electroneutral NaCl absorption in the mammalian GI tract involves the coupling of Na/H and Cl/HCO exchangers.

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of autologous platelet concentrate (APCs) in comparison with coronally-advanced flap alone or in combination with connective tissue graft or other biomaterials or bioactive agents for root coverage (RC) of Miller's Class I and II gingival recession defects by measuring the keratinized mucosa width (KMW).
Materials And Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines. An electronic search of the literature was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science, Magiran, Scientific Information Database, and Irandoc for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that used APCs for RC in their intervention group.

(1) Background: A free gingival graft (FGG) is a common technique used to reconstruct or enhance the area of keratinized mucosa, while a connective tissue graft (CTG) is utilized to boost soft tissue thickness, thereby promoting stability in interproximal marginal bone levels. Most reported complications following FGG procedure are associated with the donor site. In addition to a painful, open wound in the palate, the most frequent complications linked to FGG harvesting include excessive bleeding, postoperative bone exposure, and recurrent herpes lesions.

Introduction And Importance: Female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), is a common practice in many Arab countries, including Egypt. One potential complication of FGM/C is the development of a clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst, which occurs when keratinized epithelial cells and sebaceous glands become incorporated into the circumcision scar line in the clitoral or labial area. The objective of this study is to present a rare case of a large clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst following FGM/C and to review the current practice of FGM/C in the Arab world, including Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.
