Background: Surgical ciliated cysts occur mainly in the maxillae after radical maxillary sinus surgery; they rarely develop in the mandible. This study aims to gather information on all the characteristics of patients suffering from mandibular surgical ciliated cysts. This article also reports two new cases.

Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform were explored until 13 December 2022 for articles regarding mandibular surgical ciliated cysts. Maxillary ciliated cysts were excluded.

Results: Fourteen original articles were included in a total of 16 cases. Maxillofacial surgeries are the first aetiology (94.4%). Surgical ciliated cysts of the mandibular region show a 1.25:1 male-to-female ratio with a protracted time to diagnosis (range: 2-56 years). Most patients are symptomatic (77.8%). Typically, radiology shows a radiolucency lesion (88.9%) and histology describes pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. Enucleation has always been described as the treatment.

Discussion: All results were case reports, thus a low level of evidence studies. Mandibular surgical ciliated cysts should be considered in patients presenting a mandibular swelling or radiolucency lesion with a maxillofacial surgery history. Meticulous surgical techniques can aid in the prevention of this lesion.

The surgical ciliated cyst is a newly added entity under the cysts of the jaws in the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumours (2022). It is preceded by a prior surgery to the jaw many years before its diagnosis. A 53-year-old Chinese female, who had undergone cleft lip and palate repair followed by orthognathic surgery before the age of 20, was referred for management of an incidentally found cyst in the left maxilla.

Introduction: Type 1 congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is characterized by large, dilated cysts that rapidly expand due to aeration immediately after birth, often necessitating surgical resection. In atypical cases of CPAM type 1, fetal T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals a low-intensity solid lung mass containing multiple irregular T2 high-intensity areas.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected for infants with atypical CPAM type 1 born at our hospital between March 2002 and December 2022.

Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are among the most common nonodontogenic cysts, typically located in the midline of anterior maxillary hard palate. They usually arise from the embryonic epithelial vestiges of the nasopalatine duct. NPDCs predominantly affect adult males, generally during their fourth decade of life.

Solitary fibrous tumor is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm, initially described in the pleura and infrequently found in the kidney. It is characterized by haphazardly arranged spindle cells, staghorn vasculature, coexpression of CD34 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), and a NAB2::STAT6 gene fusion. We report a 64-year-old woman who presented with a 2.

A postoperative maxillary cyst (POMC) is an epithelium-lined cyst that can develop following surgery or trauma in the maxillary antral region. This condition arises from the entrapment of the sinonasal mucosa in the maxilla, and rarely in the mandible, due to trauma or instrumentation near the maxillary sinus. Literature indicates that POMCs, or surgical ciliated cysts, can appear as delayed complications from five months to 56 years after trauma or surgical procedures in the sinus area.
