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.
