Cytological examinations of punctates of 200 large mammary gland cysts distinguished three variants thereof: cysts without signs of epithelium proliferation; cysts with signs of epithelium proliferation; and cysts with signs of epithelium proliferation and atypia. In 12 operated patients with the cyst of the second variant no cancer was detected. Among 9 operated patients with cysts of the third variant 3 were found to have intraductal cancer with initial invasion (including one case of malignized cystadenopapilloma). Detection in cytological examinations of cysts with signs of epithelium proliferation and atypia is sufficient for excision biopsy. Such patients should be considered as a higher risk group.

Oesophageal duplication cysts are a subtype of foregut cysts, associated with the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa. Gastric acid secreted by this mucosa can lead to complications. We report one such unusual case of complication leading to the formation of broncho-oesophageal fistula in a duplication cyst.

Purpose: To study the distinct imaging characteristics of parenchymal neurocysticercosis (NCC) that aid in distinguishing it from other diseases.
Material And Methods: Two hundred fifty patients with NCC were selected based on identification of the scolex. T2 weighted, T1 fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), T2 FLAIR, susceptibility weighted imaging, constructive interference in steady state, diffusion weighted imaging, and T1 weighted contrast sequences were performed.

Pancreatic cysts are mostly incidental findings on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans, with few patients presenting with abdominal pain or other symptoms. The accurate diagnosis of cysts is important as management depends on the type (neoplastic or non-neoplastic). Cross-sectional imaging is fast being replaced with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and various techniques based on that such as EUS-guided fine needle aspiration, EUS-guided needle confocal laser endomicroscopy, EUS-through-the-needle biopsy, and contrast-enhanced EUS.
