–Needs a picture like this. (Ignore the annoying music, just first one I found I liked in google). I'm just too afraid of all this copyright stuff to even to try to figure out how to upload a random picture from User:Nastajus|Nastajus]] 05:03, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Encystment

I'm against the mege, becuase as defined here it seems that encystment looks like a voluntary thing from the organism, while cyst seems to be an uncontrolled growth (or at least an unwelcome growth). Since the tags have been up since June, I'll take them off for now, but if someone wants to start the debate up again with better (or more accurate information) feel free to add the tags in again.

[edit] Develosion

Is "develosion" actually a word? I haven't been able to find it except in articles that cite this one. - Cyborg Ninja 05:06, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Devolution (=degeneration)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.69.138 (talk) 15:27, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inside the mouth

Does any author know about the kind of cyst that forms within the mouth because the inner lining has been bitten. I have had a look through all the cyst articles and found nothing. Cheers_Ad@m.J.W.C. 11:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PLEASE stop adding cystic fibrosis here

The name "cystic Fibrosis is due to the apparition of a fibrosis (overdeveloppment of the conjonctive tissue) in the cystic duct. Nothing to do with cysts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.206.220.46 (talk) 20:45, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

There's a reference, so it's appropriate that it should say. WLU (talk) 20:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
You apparently forgot to include the reference. I bet you'll have trouble finding such a thing in a reliable scientific or medical source. Try a PubMed search for "cystic fibrosis AND review[article type]". And then PLEASE remove your misleading addition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.206.220.46 (talk) 21:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I suggest that you check this interesting article for example: http://www.jpedsurg.org/article/PIIS0022346897901743/pdf (if you don't have access, try http://www.jpedsurg.org/article/PIIS0022346897901743/abstract) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.206.220.46 (talk) 21:20, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Oops, guess you're right. Fixed. WLU (talk) 21:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Thx. Maybe the section on cystic fibrosis in the article could be removed then, the discussion page should be enough. No? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.206.220.46 (talk) 21:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
74.56.148.236 (talk) 00:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Actually the real origin of the name comes from fibrosis in all parts of the biliary tract, cystic being a generic adjective for all that is related to the biliary vesicle and/or the bladder. But I thought that mentionning only the cystic duct (which name actually contain the word "cystic") would make things clearer.
