Multiple Dermoid Cysts in the Epiglottis Presenting with Dysphonia and Dysphagia: A Rare Case

Dermoid cysts are developmental anomalies that occur during midline fusion in embryological life. It is known that they can also be acquired as a result of traumatic and iatrogenic implantation. Laryngeal involvement of dermoid cysts has been reported very rarely in the literature. This report presents a case with multiple dermoid cysts originating from the epiglottis. A 59-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of foreign body sensation in the throat and dysphagia. Multiple cystic lesions originating from the epiglottis were observed in the laryngeal examination of the patient. After radiological examinations, the cysts were completely excised by endolaryngeal surgery. After excision of the lesions, which were reported as dermoid cysts, all complaints of the patient regressed, and no recurrence was observed in the 6th month after the operation and his follow-up continued. Dermoid cysts originating from the epiglottis are very rare, but they should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of epiglottis lesions

The Relationship between Time Management and Leisure Time Satisfaction in Health Sciences Students

Objectives: The aim of the study is to examine time management and leisure time satisfaction in universitystudents.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with 325 students. Time Management Inventory and LeisureTime Satisfaction Scale were used to assess students’ time management and leisure activity satisfaction.Students’ time management and leisure time satisfaction were compared according to accommodation, grade,and gender. Mann Whitney U test and Spearman Correlation Coefficient were used in statistical analyses.Results: Time management scores were very moderately high and leisure time satisfaction scores were very highin students. Time management scores showed positive correlation with leisure time satisfaction score (p0.05).The female students achieved higher scores in time management and leisure time satisfaction (p0.05). Thegrade of the students did not significantly affect the leisure time satisfaction and time management scores ofparticipants (p?0.05). Accommodation types of the participants make statistically significant difference in timemanagement (p?0.05).Conclusion: It is recommended that male students be encouraged to participate actively in both timemanagement and leisure activities. Considering the accommodation types of the participants in timemanagement trainings will also increase the applicability of the suggestions to be given. Studies in terms ofincreasing time management skills may be helpful
