Purpose: The O-RADS malignancy risk stratification of typical ovarian dermoid cysts by using a 10 cm threshold is based on expert consensus rather than analysis of objective clinical data. This comprehensive scoping review consolidated all currently available studies evaluating typical benign ovarian dermoid cyst size and risk for malignant transformation.

Methods: A systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and the Cochrane library was performed from inception to January 14, 2024, using PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

Department of General Thoracic, Breast and Endocrinological Surgery, Kagawa University, Kagawa, Japan.

A 36-year-old woman referred to our hospital for treatment of a mediastinal tumor. Contrast computed tomography (CT) scan was revealed a 31×21×25 mm mass in the anterior mediastinum, with low contrast, clear border, and a tendency to increase. On magnetic resonance imaging( MRI) examination, the anterior mediastinal tumor showed homogeneous high signal intensity on T1-weighted images and a combination of high and low signal intensities on T2-weighted images.

Dermoid cysts originate from embryonic tissues trapped in the cranial fusion lines and typically manifest extra-axially. However, intradiploic dermoid cysts are rare among cranial tumors, and their rupture has been sparsely documented. We present a case showcasing a remarkable phenomenon-the spontaneous rupture of an intradiploic dermoid cyst into the subarachnoid space, displaying a distinct "volcano-like" appearance on CT and MRI scans.

Dermoid cysts of cutaneous origin are common orbital lesions, whereas dermoid cysts of conjunctival origin are rare. The authors present a case of a dermoid cyst of conjunctival origin that was attached to the tarsus in a pediatric patient. A 2-year-old boy presented to the clinic with an approximately 2 cm in diameter mobile nodule in the upper eyelid on the temporal side that distorted the eyelid architecture with temporal ptosis.

Immature teratoma is an uncommon type of malignant tumor that mostly consists of immature tissue originating from the neuroepithelium. Mature teratomas in pediatrics are relatively rare and difficult to diagnose because of various symptoms and the tendency to overlap with other illnesses. This study aimed to report a rare case of a mature teratoma in pediatric age.

Article Synopsis
  • Dermal sinus tracts (DSTs) are rare congenital lesions that pose risks of infection and neurological issues due to their connection between the skin and spinal cord, making surgical intervention recommended, though the timing for surgery in asymptomatic cases is uncertain.
  • A retrospective review from 1998 to 2022 studied 52 patients who underwent DST excision and detethering, excluding those with pre-existing complications.
  • Results indicated a median surgery age of 7 months, with complications in 8% of cases, and younger age at surgery was linked to higher risks of postoperative problems and continued neurological issues.

Article Synopsis
  • Mature cystic teratomas, or dermoid cysts, are benign ovarian tumors formed from germ cells, often asymptomatic but can cause serious complications like torsion or cancer.
  • The case involves a 27-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain, where imaging revealed complex cysts in her left ovary, later confirmed as a mature cystic teratoma and an endometrioma after surgery.
  • The report underscores the rare occurrence of these two conditions together, the difficulties in differentiating them, and stresses the need for various imaging techniques for accurate diagnosis before surgery.
