Decompression and curettage can result are effective as treatments for large jaw cysts, which are common diseases in the clinic. Based on a treatment used in a previous study, this paper proposes a "three-step method" to treat large jaw cyst and repair the bone defect by decompression, curettage, and autologous dental bone powder implantation. This paper introduces the processes and key points of the operation involved in the abovementioned method.

Lung cancer with cyst formation is a rare entity. We report a 63-year-old man who underwent surgical treatment of primary lung cancer, which mimics benign solitary cyst. We incidentally found his pulmonary cyst by a low dose chest tomography and followed up for 2 years. Rapid growth of cyst and focal wall thickening evoke us to have a suspicion of its malignancy. Left lower lobectomy via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed without any preoperative pathologic confirmation. The postoperative pathological finding revealed squamous cell carcinoma with carcinoma in situ on the cyst wall. We emphasize the need for physicians to be aware of the potential of lung cancer in patients with growing pulmonary cyst.

INTRODUCTION: Bone defects in the jaw are frequently observed after odontogenic cyst enucleation. The success of bone healing appears to be related to the size of the bone defect, the anatomical location, the patient's age and other parameters. The use of bone grafting material is dependent on the operator's preference. No evidence-based definite treatment protocol has been established. This study evaluated the effect of a bone graft into the defect after odontogenic cyst enucleation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 55 patients, who had been treated for an odontogenic cyst with cyst enucleation from 2000 to 2009 at the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Samsung Medical Center, were included in this study. Patients who were followed-up for more than 1 year were included. Two groups were defined according to the bone graft (with or without a bone graft) after cyst enucleation. The differences in the healing periods and patterns of bone healing were compared clinically and radiologically. The postoperative 1 year radiographs were analyzed for bone healing and density. Statistical analysis was performed using a Pearson chi square test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test. RESULTS: More infection signs were observed in the bone graft group than in the other group, but there was no statistically significant difference. Radiographically, there was also no significant difference in the size of the radiolucent lesions between the two groups. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in healing between the groups with a bone graft and without bone graft after cyst enucleation.
