Study Notes

Necrotic Tissues

  • Necrotic tissues must be removed along with the punctum and the cyst, and then allowed to return to their natural state before removal.

Dermoid Cyst

  • Differentiation between dermoid cyst and lipoma is based on site.
  • Sequestration can occur in dermoid cysts, especially in the ovary, testis, and posterior mediastinum.
  • Other common sites for dermoid cysts include preauricular and postauricular areas.
  • Teratomatous dermoid cysts can occur in the ovary, testis, and posterior mediastinum.

Haemangioma

  • Surgical excision is necessary for haemangiomas in certain cases.
  • Haemangiomas can occur in the eye and require surgical excision.
  • Large haemangiomas can cause hyperdynamic circulation and lead to congestive heart failure (CHF).
  • Haemangiomas in the liver can rupture and cause hemorrhage, especially after trauma.
  • Infected haemangiomas require surgical excision.
  • Haemangiomas in exposed areas are prone to trauma.

Lipoma

  • Lipomas can cause skin dimpling due to fibrous tissue septa.
  • Large lipomas in the neck and back may be liposarcomas.
  • Other types of lipomas include parosteal and intrarticular lipomas.
  • Extradural lipomas can cause paraplegia or incontinence.

This quiz is about dermatology, focusing on dermoid cysts and lipoma. Learn how to differentiate between the two and their characteristics.
