RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Gonadal pediatric tumors are rare, ranking fourth (6%) among pediatric tumors, by Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (https:∕∕seer.cancer.gov∕). They have vague symptoms, leading to late discovery, but early detection and identifying its risk factors result in favorable prognosis and reduction of its incidence respectively. PATIENTS, MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 10-year retrospective study identified peculiarities and risk factors in 210 children till age 17 with (para)gonadal tumors. RESULTS: Stress, pollution (agricultural chemicals, insecticides and metal mine), obesity, breastfeeding ≤5 months, malformations [mainly non-genetic related 67∕87 (77%), especially eye malformation - 64%], hormone, smoking, positive heredo-genetic history, rural residence area, abnormal birth weight, and menstruation disorders showed an increased gonadal malignancy risk; relative risk ratio (RR): 1.33, 1.30, 1.34, 1.11, 1.65, 1.16, 1.36, 1.10, 1.00, 1.08 and 1.15 folds, respectively. RR for histopathological subtypes: immature teratoma (IT) (pollution - 1.75, Rhesus positive - 3.41), dysgerminoma (menstruation disorders - 2.80), granulosa cell tumor (stress - 2.10, menstruation disorders - 2.80), mucinous cystadenomas (obesity - 2.84, no postnatal vaccine - 3.71), mature teratomas (stress - 2.35, malformations - 2.18) and serous cystadenomas (breastfeeding ≤5 months - 2.53), dependent variables being mixed germ cell tumors (GCTs) and cysts. Children presenting with bleeding (73%), abdominal distention (62%), elevated tumor markers (91%), (multilocular) solid tumor (88% and 100%), tumor size >10 cm (65%), GCTs (74%), death (100%), metastases (100%), viruses (77%), loss of appetite (68%), and weight (85%), had gonadal malignant tumors, especially mixed GCTs and IT. CONCLUSIONS: Avoiding these risk factors will prevent and reduce gonadal pediatric tumors. Investigating children presenting with the listed peculiarities, especially if exposed to the mentioned risk factors, will enable early gonadal tumor identification, successful patient management, and favorable prognosis.

Objective: Little is known about the association between whole-blood nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) levels and nabothian cysts. This study aimed to assess the association between NAD + levels and nabothian cysts in healthy Chinese women. Methods: Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the association between NAD + levels and nabothian cysts. Results: The mean age was 43.0 ± 11.5 years, and the mean level of NAD + was 31.3 ± 5.3 µmol/L. Nabothian cysts occurred in 184 (27.7%) participants, with single and multiple cysts in 100 (15.0%) and 84 (12.6%) participants, respectively. The total nabothian cyst prevalence gradually decreased from 37.4% to 21.6% from Q1 to Q4 of NAD + and the prevalence of single and multiple nabothian cysts also decreased across the NAD + quartiles. As compared with the highest NAD + quartile (≥ 34.4 µmol/L), the adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence interval of the NAD + Q1 was 1.89 (1.14-3.14) for total nabothian cysts. The risk of total and single nabothian cysts linearly decreased with increasing NAD + levels, while the risk of multiple nabothian cysts decreased more rapidly at NAD + levels of 28.0 to 35.0 µmol/L. Conclusion: Low NAD + levels were associated with an increased risk of total and multiple nabothian cysts.

BACKGROUND: Orofacial cysts are pathologic cavities that could be symptomatic and may cause facial disfigurement. The only epidemiologic report of such lesions in Southeast Nigeria studied jaw cysts from 1987 to 1996. New studies reflecting recent research findings and classifications on the subject in Southeast Nigeria are lacking. AIM: To determine the prevalence and distribution of orofacial cysts in a tertiary hospital in Enugu, Southeast Nigeria. METHODS: A 10-year retrospective study of patients with orofacial cysts diagnosed by histology was carried out. RESULTS: Orofacial cysts constitute 9.5% (85) of 897 orofacial lesions identified. The male-to-female gender ratio was 1.2:1. The mean age (± standard deviation) at the onset of the cystic lesion was 28.58 (±16.98) years. Developmental odontogenic cysts 52.9% (45) and salivary cysts 18.8% (16) were the most common group of orofacial cysts. The most prevalent orofacial cysts were odontogenic keratocysts at 25.9% (22), mucoceles 16.5% (14), and dentigerous cysts 14.1% (12). Straw-colored aspirates 34.8% (16) and dark brown aspirates 28.3% (13) were the predominant cystic contents. The mandible 45.9% (39) and maxilla 27.1% (23) were the commonest sites for orofacial cysts, while the lip 9.4% (8) was the most frequent soft tissue site. A significant association exists between anatomical site and cyst type at a 95% confidence interval with P = 0.000, X2 = 247.17. Unilocular radiolucency 62.5% (20) and multilocular radiolucency 34.4% (11) were the most common radiographic features. CONCLUSION: Developmental odontogenic cysts particularly odontogenic keratocysts were most prevalent while mucocele was the most common soft tissue cyst.

The main cause of diffuse thyroid goiter is autoimmune chronic thyroiditis, otherwise known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Thyroid hormones play pivotal roles in growth and development during childhood. However, the prevalence of diffuse goiter and the relationships between diffuse goiter, thyroid volume, cysts and nodules, and anthropometric measurements in children are not well known. Among 789,459 participants who participated in thyroid ultrasound examinations, 320,206 participants (male: 161,728; female: 158,478) aged 1-23 years were analyzed. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to calculate the odds ratios of the standard deviation score of body mass index (BMI-SDS), the SDS of bilateral width multiplied thickness area (BWTAR-SDS) as a provisional determination of thyroid volume, and the presence of nodules or cysts for positive diffuse goiter compared with negative diffuse goiter after correction for sex and age. The prevalence of diffuse goiter increased in a female-dominant manner with aging. Compared with the absence of diffuse goiter, the age- and sex-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for BMI-SDS (1 SD), BWTAR-SDS (1 SD), cysts, and nodules were 1.24 (1.21-1.27), 3.21 (3.13-3.29), 0.53 (0.50-0.58), and 1.38 (1.17-1.64), respectively. The odds ratios of nodules for positive diffuse goiter were 4.18 (1.08-16.08), 1.76 (1.01-3.07), 1.80 (1.32-2.45), and 1.34 (1.08-1.67) in the age groups 1-7, 8-11, 12-15, and 16-23 years, respectively. The age-dependent increase in the prevalence of diffuse goiter was independently associated with increased BMI and positive prevalence of nodules in young individuals.

OBJECTIVE: As part of the National Disease Surveillance Program for Taiwanese Aquaculture, we investigated the causative agent of disease outbreaks in farmed Chicken Grunts Parapristipoma trilineatum. METHODS: In this study, outbreak cases on two separate farms were noticed in coastal Pingtung County, Taiwan. In total, 50 juvenile fish showing clinical signs (such as emaciation and erratic swimming behavior) and broodstock (two females and two males) from both farms were collected to perform gross lesion assessment, histopathological examination, and molecular identification of the pathogen. RESULT: Clinical symptoms were infected fish exhibited erratic swimming behavior, such as whirling and floating on the surface of the water. In the following months, cumulative mortality had reached 19% and 24%, respectively. The gross lesions in the infected fish included white oval cysts in the muscle, serosa of the internal organs, sclera of the eyes, and cerebral meninges. After conducting a wet mount examination of cysts using a light microscope, we observed a significant quantity of spores with morphological characteristics, suggesting their affiliation with the Myxosporea group. The spores were semiquadrate, with four tiny suture notches at the periphery; the mean spore length was 7.3 µm (SD = 0.5), and the mean spore width was 8.2 µm (SD = 0.6). The mean length and width of the pyriform polar capsules (nematocysts) were 3.6 µm (SD = 0.5) and 2.2 µm (SD = 0.5), respectively. The 18S and 28S ribosomal RNA sequences of these specimens were identical to those of Kudoa lutjanus. CONCLUSION: As this was the first time an outbreak of K. lutjanus in Chicken Grunts was confirmed, its reappearance with substantial mortality should serve as a warning to the aquaculture industry.

BACKGROUND: Masses and cysts in the heart are well-known entities, but their low prevalence and non-specific symptoms makes the diagnosis difficult. We aimed to characterize the features of these entities in our environment. METHODS: We carried out a search of patients who underwent surgery for tumors and cysts in the heart between 2002 and 2022 in the registry of the Department of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of Clínica Universidad de Navarra (Pamplona, Spain). Sociodemographic, clinical, histological, and surgical variables were collected. RESULTS: We identified 13 patients; mean age was 63.08 ± 15.17 years, 76.92% were female and 92.31% had at least one cardiovascular risk factor, e.g., BMI = 25 kg/m2 and high blood pressure (61.54% and 53.85%, respectively). The most common type of cardiac tumors were myxomas (69.23%). Around half (46.15%) were incidental; the most frequent symptom was dyspnea (53.85%); 30.77% of the patients were asymptomatic. The most commonly used imaging technique for the diagnosis was transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (69.23%). The agreement between the mean diameters before and after surgery was very high (ICC = 0.807, 95% CI: 0.450 - 0.943). CONCLUSIONS: We describe the features of masses and cysts in the heart (77% female patients) and provide information scarcely available in the literature, e.g., the most frequent cardiovascular risk factors for this population. A case of cardiac leiomyosarcoma and a case of intimal sarcoma of the pulmonary trunk are described, two extremely rare tumors for which there are few described cases.

Background: Breast cysts encompass a variety of pathologies, both benign and malignant. Therefore, classifying cysts into different categories is needful to develop a management algorithm. This study aimed to describe and distinguish between simple, complicated and complex cysts; and compare the final BIRADS assessment with pathologic findings. Materials and methods: A 5-year retrospective review of our ultrasound database identified two hundred and seventy patients with cystic breast lesions. They were divided into simple, complicated and complex cysts according to ultrasound characteristics based on shape, orientation, margin, wall thickness, internal features (echogenicity, septa, mass) posterior acoustic features, surrounding tissue vascularity. The final BIRADS assessment was correlated with histological findings. Results: There were two hundred and sixty-six (98.5%) females and four (1.5%) males with a mean age 34.9 ± 11.8 years. The commonest presentation was a palpable mass, in 70% of the patients. There were 89 (33.0%) simple cysts, 61 (22.6%) complicated cysts and 120 (44.4%) complex cysts. Conclusion: Majority of the breast cysts (83%) were benign with overall 17% incidence of malignancy. Complex cysts were the most frequent cyst type in our study, it is also the category most frequently associated with breast cancer, obviating the need for histology.

Introducción: Quistes hepáticos son formaciones de contenido líquido-seroso rodeado de parénquima hepático normal y sin comunicación con la vía biliar intrahepática. Mayor incidencia en adultos mayores de 50 años, con una relación mujer / hombre de 1.5: 1. Son asintomáticos. Los síntomas se presentan debido a su tamaño o bien por la presencia de complicaciones como la hemorragia, la rotura, la infección intraquística, o la compresión de estructuras adyacentes. Objetivo: Caracterizar a una paciente que presenta quiste hepático gigante complicado por rotura traumática. Caso clínico: Paciente femenino de 81 años, acudió a emergencia luego de haber presentado caída impactándose sobre superficie dura a nivel de parrilla costal e hipocondrio derecho, presentó dolor abdominal intenso acompañado de nausea y vómito. Al examen físico mostró signos claros de irritación peritoneal. Se realizó tomografía axial computarizada que reporta rotura de la pared de quiste hepático y aproximadamente 600 ml de líquido libre en cavidad. Se efectúo tratamiento quirúrgico de emergencia al realizar destechamiento del quiste y lavado de la cavidad. Conclusiones: Los quistes hepáticos, debido a su tamaño o complicaciones pueden poner en peligro la vida de los pacientes. Es necesario que dentro del arsenal diagnóstico del cirujano esté presente el conocimiento de esta patología(AU)
Introduction: Hepatic cysts are formations with liquid-serous content surrounded by normal liver parenchyma and without communication with the intrahepatic bile duct. It is reported with higher incidence in adults over fifty years of age, with a women/men ratio of 1.5: 1. They are asymptomatic; symptoms appear due to either their size or the presence of complications such as hemorrhage, rupture, intracystic infection, or compression of adjacent structures. Objective: To characterize a patient with a giant hepatic cyst complicated by traumatic rupture. Clinical case: A 81-year-old female patient went to the emergency room after falling and subsequently impacting herself on a hard surface at the level of the rib cage and right hypochondrium; she presented intense abdominal pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The physical examination showed clear signs of peritoneal irritation. A computerized axial tomography was performed, reporting rupture of the hepatic cyst wall and approximately 600 mL of free fluid within the cavity. Emergency surgical treatment was performed after cyst unroofing and cavity washing. Conclusions: Hepatic cysts, due to their size or complications, can endanger the patients' lives. It is necessary for the surgeon to consider knowledge of this condition as part of his or her diagnostic resources(AU)

Las dilataciones quísticas de las vías biliares, conocidas como lagunas biliares, se han descrito en el seguimiento de los pacientes sometidos a portoenterostomía o cirugía de Kasai por atresia de las vías biliares (AVB). Su aparición se ha asociado con el desarrollo de colangitis y consecuentemente a un peor pronóstico. OBJETIVO: Describir las características clínicas y pronóstico de pacientes con AVB, sometidos a cirugía de Kasai, con énfasis en aquellos que desarrollaron lagunas biliares. PACIENTES Y MÉTODO: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes sometidos a portoenterostomía de Kasai por AVB durante los años 2008 a 2016. Se tabuló la información demográfica y variables asociadas a la portoenterostomía de Kasai, trasplante hepático, lagunas o quistes biliares y episodios de colangitis. Se crearon curvas de Kaplan Meier y comparación mediante el test de Log Rank para evaluar sobrevida global, libre de colangitis y con hígado nativo, considerando un valor p como significativo. RESULTADOS: Se analizó el seguimiento de 13 pacientes. El tiempo promedio de realización del Kasai fue a los 85 meses (rango 42-193, DS 40,3), seis pacientes (46%) fueron sometidos a cirugía de Kasai después de los 90 días de vida por derivación tardía. Cuatro (31%) desarrollaron lagunas biliares múltiples, todos presentaron episodios de colangitis. La sobrevida libre de colangitis fue significativamente menor para los portadores de lagunas biliares. Nueve pacientes (69%) recibieron un trasplante hepático, en promedio a los 16 meses de edad (rango 6-40, DS 12,1), en 3 de ellos la causa fue colangitis recurrente. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la sobrevida con hígado nativo ni en sobrevida global entre portadores y no portadores de lagunas biliares. CONCLUSIONES: En esta cohorte, la incidencia de lagunas biliares luego de la portoenterostomía es similar a la descrita en la literatura. Los resultados concuerdan con la relación propuesta entre ellas y el desarrollo de colangitis. En los pacientes de nuestra serie, el diagnóstico y derivación de AVB fue realizado tardíamente, determinando un peor pronóstico.
Since the introduction of Kasais hepatic portoenterostomy, the prognosis of patients with biliary atresia has improved. The presence of intrahepatic biliary cysts or bile lakes has been reported in some patients after the intervention. Bile lakes have been related to cholangitis and a poor outcome. OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical features and prognosis of patients with biliary atresia after Kasai portoenterostomy, with special emphasis in those who developed biliary cysts. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Data from a retrospective cohort of 13 patients with biliary atresia with a Kasai portoenterostomy from 2008 to 2016 was analyzed. Demographic variables associated to Kasai portoenterostomy, hepatic transplant, biliary cysts and colangitis episodes were tabulated. Kaplan Meir and Log Rank test were used to evaluate colangitis-free and native liver survival. RESULTS: The mean age at Kasai was 85 months (SD 40.3, 42-193 months), six patients (46%) had a Kasai operation after 90 days of life. Four patients (31%) developed multiple biliary cysts; all of them had at least one episode of cholangitis. Cholangitis-free survival was significantly lower for those who developed bile lakes. Nine patients (69%) underwent liver transplant, 3 of them because of recurrent cholangitis. There were no differences in global survival or native liver survival between patients with or without biliary cysts. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of biliary cysts after Kasai portoenterostomy in this series is similar to the reported. The results are consistent with the relationship proposed between the development of biliary cysts and cholangitis. Our patients, some already derived for evaluation and liver transplantation, underwent Kasai operation at an advanced age, which determines a poor prognosis.

Introducción: en 1991, Delaitre y colaboradores reportaron la primera esplenectomía laparoscópica exitosa. Ésta se ha convertido en el procedimiento de elección en pacientes con enfermedades hematológicas que requieren tratamiento quirúrgico. Las ventajas potenciales del abordaje laparoscópico sobre el convencional son menor estancia intrahospitalaria, retorno más rápido a la vía oral y disminución en las tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad. Material y métodos: de junio de 1993 a diciembre de 2004, 42 pacientes fueron sometidos a esplenectomía laparoscópica tanto en el Texas Endosurgery Institute como en el Hospital San José del Tecnológico de Monterrey. Las variables utilizadas para valorar eficacia y seguridad fueron tiempo quirúrgico, estancia intrahospitalaria, inicio de la vía oral, conversión a procedimiento abierto, morbilidad y mortalidad. Resultados: las enfermedades hematológicas representaron el diagnóstico más común. El procedimiento fue técnicamente exitoso en 95 % de los casos. Solamente hubo dos conversiones a cirugía convencional. El tiempo quirúrgico promedio fue de 120 minutos. La tasa de mortalidad fue de 2.3 % y la estancia intrahospitalaria y el inicio de la vía oral promedios, de cuatro y dos días, respectivamente. Conclusiones: nuestra serie contribuye a reafirmar que actualmente la esplenectomía laparoscópica representa un método seguro y efectivo, conservando además algunas de las ventajas de los procedimientos mínimamente invasivos.
BACKGROUND: In 1991, Delaitre et al. reported the first successful laparoscopic splenectomy. This procedure has become the best option in patients with hematological diseases and who require surgical treatment. The potential advantages of the laparoscopic approach over the conventional surgery are shorter length of hospital stay, shorter time to resume normal diet and decreased rates of morbidity and mortality. METHODS: From June 1993 to December 2004, 42 patients underwent laparoscopic splenectomy in our two surgical care centers: Texas Endosurgery Institute and Hospital San José-TEC de Monterrey. The measured variables to evaluate efficacy and safety were operating time, length of hospital stay, time to resume normal diet, conversion to open procedure, morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: Hematological diseases were the most common diagnosis. The procedure was technically successful in 95% of the patients. There were two conversions to open surgery. The mean operating time was 120 min. Mortality rate was 2.3%. The mean length of hospital stay and time to resume normal diet were 4 and 2 days, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We regard that our series contributes to supporting laparoscopic splenectomy as a safe and effective method, retaining some advantages of minimally invasive techniques.

OBJETIVO: Relatar a prevalência de cistos iridociliares em olhos de pacientes submetidos à biomicroscopia ultra-sônica (UBM). MÉTODOS: Analisaram-se retrospectivamente as imagens de UBM de 1.557 pacientes examinados de setembro de 1995 a junho de 2004. O critério de inclusão foi a UBM ter sido realizada nos quatro quadrantes (superior, inferior, nasal e temporal) do globo ocular. Avaliaram-se e classificaram-se os cistos quanto: a) ao número em cada quadrante; b) ao quadrante de localização; c) à morfologia, medindo o maior diâmetro (vertical ou horizontal), a maior espessura da parede e a área da lesão cística; d) à área de recesso angular (ARA) para cada um dos quadrantes em que havia cisto; e) à hipótese diagnóstica e/ou indicação da UBM. Utilizou-se o "software" UBM Pro 2000 para medir o diâmetro, a espessura da parede, a área do cisto e a ARA. RESULTADOS: Foram encontrados 103 cistos em 56 pacientes correspondendo à prevalência de 4,9 por cento numa amostra de 1.132 pacientes selecionados. Dos 1.132 pacientes, 650 (57,4 por cento) eram do sexo feminino e 482 (42,6 por cento) eram do sexo masculino. Dos 56 pacientes com cisto, 37 (66,1 por cento) eram do sexo feminino e 19 (33,9 por cento) eram do sexo masculino. Dos 1.480 olhos examinados, 774 (52,3 por cento) eram olhos direitos e 706 (47,7 por cento) eram olhos esquerdos. Foram encontrados cistos em 38 (64,4 por cento) olhos direitos e 21 (35,6 por cento) olhos esquerdos. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os sexos nem entre os olhos direito e esquerdo. Os cistos com maior média de diâmetro e área estavam localizados nos quadrantes temporal e superior, onde foram encontrados os menores valores de grau de abertura do seio camerular. CONCLUSÕES: Os cistos iridociliares são mais prevalentes nos quadrantes inferior e temporal. Os cistos de maior diâmetro e área situam-se nos quadrantes temporal e superior onde encontram-se menores valores médios de grau de abertura do seio camerular.A espessura da parede dos cistos é praticamente a mesma nos quatro quadrantes. Em 64,3% dos pacientes, a presença de cistos foi um achado ocasional do exame de UBM.
PURPOSE: To present the prevalence of iridociliary cysts in eyes of patients submitted to UBM examination. METHODS: We analyzed retrospectively the UBM images of 1157 patients in the period from September 1995 to June 2004. The inclusion criterion was the UBM examination had been made on the four quadrants (superior, inferior, nasal and temporal) of the eyes. The cysts were assessed and classified in relation to their number in each quadrant; localization and morphology. Using the UBM Pro 2000 software we took the measurements of the largest diameter, wall thickness and area of the cysts besides the angle recession area (ARA). RESULTS: The prevalence of the cysts was 4.9 percent. No statistical difference was found between the prevalence of cysts regarding gender or between the right and left eyes. They were more prevalent in the inferior (39.8 percent) and temporal (29.1 percent) quadrants. The cysts with the largest diameter and area were located in the temporal and superior quadrants. No difference was found in relation to cysts' wall thickness in all quadrants. CONCLUSIONS: No statistical difference was found between the prevalence of cysts as concerns gender or between the right and left eyes. However, the cysts were more prevalent in the inferior and temporal quadrants. The locations of the largest cysts are preferentially the temporal and superior quadrants. The angle recession area was smaller in the temporal and superior quadrants. The cysts' wall thickness is practically the same in all quadrants. The diagnosis of iridociliary cysts was an occasional finding in 64.3 percent of the patients.

Tubas uterinas de 21 novilhas mestiças Bos taurus taurus Bos taurus indicus, em diferentes fases do ciclo estral natural (estro, metaestro e diestro) ou induzido pelo tratamento superovulatório (estro e metaestro superovulados), foram avaliadas quanto à presença de cistos intra-epiteliais e à caracterização histoquímica de seu conteúdo. Verificou-se a ocorrência de cistos intra-epiteliais nas tubas uterinas em todos os animais, mais freqüentes nas regiões do infundíbulo e ampola. Eles ocorreram nos lados direito e esquerdo, ipsi- e contralateral ao ovário ativo (folículo pré-ovulatório ou corpo lúteo), nas fases estrogênica e progesterônica do ciclo. No conteúdo cístico, houve predominância de mucinas neutras e ácidas carboxiladas, sendo as mucinas sulfatadas presentes em menor intensidade, e não se observou glicogênio. Os resultados sustentam a hipótese de que esses cistos formam-se pela fusão de luminações intracitoplasmáticas e/ou vacúolos ciliados do epitélio tubário.

The distribution of Kudoa sciaenae cysts (Myxozoa), in terms of intensity and prevalence, in the somatic muscles of the sciaenid Stellifer minor, shows an apparent preference for the anterior body region, including the head. The observed preference seems to be a consequence of the differential distribution of muscle mass, in the defined area, because when density (cyst/g dry muscle), is considered, all the somatic areas, but not cephalic area, do no show significant differences in terms of mean intensity and prevalence

En 40 pacientes portadores de lesiones quísticas, es decir, de ubicación retroseptal, analizamos su comportamiento clínico, incidencia patológica y manejo terapéutico. Incluimos a niños y adultos, cuyas edades fluctuaron entre pocos días y 77 años, siendo 22 mujeres y 18 hombres. Las lesiones encontradas correspondieron a primarias, preferentemente en niños y, secundarias, principalmente en adultos. Los quistes primarios encontrados en 31 pacientes (77,5%) fueron los siguientes: dermoides, 14 (35%); quistes epiteliales simples, en 5 (12,5%); microftalmo con quiste o quistes colobomatosos, en 3 (7,5%); quistes hemáticos, en 3 (7,5%); ojo quístico congénito o criptoftalmo, en 2 (5%); 1 teratoma y 1 quiste hidatídico con 2,5% cada uno. Como lesiones secundarias encontramos al mucocele, de origen frontal especialmente, en 9 casos (22,5%) y 2 (5%) meningoceles. Clínicamente se mostraron por proptosis y desplazamiento ocular progresivo, con o sin compromiso periorbitario dependiendo del tamaño e inflamación de la lesión, muchos de los cuales lo hacían en forma paulatina. El aspecto evolutivo obligó a plantear un tratamiento quirúrgico en la mayoría de éstos, en tanto que en unos pocos solamente los observamos
