case_images: fig6
case_images: TPX round burr (Stryker, Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA), the cystic lining was exposed (Figure 6(a)), and the lesion was carefully removed (Figure 6(b)). The cysts appeared dark colored, because of the dark fluid content. The mucoperiosteal flap was repositioned, and suture (4.0 VICRYL RAPIDE, Ethicon, Somerville, New Jersey, USA) was placed along the incision (Figure 6(c)).
case_images: Haematoxylin and eosin-stained section showing the histopathologic features of a surgical ciliated cyst. The cyst wall consists of fibrous connective tissue wall (red arrows head) lined by a pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium (black arrow head) (original magnification 200x).
