Review
Mucoceles are common salivary gland disorders. Mucoceles are benign, mucus-filled extravasation pseudocysts that commonly arise on the lower lip of children and young adults. Although surgical excision is commonly performed to remove these lesions, other treatments include marsupialization, micromarsupialization laser ablation, cryotherapy, intralesional steroid injection, and sclerosing agents. Traumatic sialoceles commonly arise from injury to the parotid duct. Treatment of sialoceles from acute parotid duct injury and for delayed presentations after injury are discussed. Ranulas are a subtype of mucocele from the sublingual gland classified as superficial or plunging. Treatment of ranulas must address the sublingual gland.

OBJECTIVE
In what follows, it is extremely rare for the inferior turbinate to occur with a mucocele. The authors aim to evaluate the characteristics, clinical features, and treatment outcome of the inferior turbinate mucocele in our hospital.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Five patients with radiologically confirmed inferior turbinate mucocele between January 2006 and December 2017 were enrolled in this study.
RESULTS
Out of the 5 patients with inferior turbinate mucocele reviewed, 2 out of the 5 patients had symptoms of nasal obstruction and headache respectively, whereas the other 3 remaining patients were found incidentally by radiological examinations without any nasal symptoms. Four patients were performed the surgery by the transnasal endoscopic marsupialization. One patient had a very small size of an inferior turbinate mucocele and had no symptoms, and in that case the authors decided to do a periodic observation without a surgical intervention. There were no major complications resulting from this surgical intervention, and no recurrence of the inferior turbinate mucocele.
CONCLUSIONS
The inferior turbinate mucocele is an extremely rare disease and can be diagnosed accurately by the use of radiologic examinations. The prevailing discipline is that endoscopic marsupialization is the best treatment for the inferior turbinate mucocele, which is known for showing very good results without recurrence of the condition.

Review
Advances regarding surgical treatment of hepatobiliary diseases over the past 5 years have resulted in improved outcomes and decreased mortality in veterinary patients. Options for minimally invasive treatment of intrahepatic portosystemic shunts and gallbladder disease have led to decreased morbidity with similar outcomes to open procedures. For extrahepatic portosystemic shunts, studies evaluating long-term outcome between surgical attenuation and medical management, as well as between options for surgical attenuation, are being used to direct evidence-based treatment of this congenital anomaly. In addition, evaluation of timing in surgical intervention for gallbladder mucoceles has led to an opportunity for decreased mortality rates after cholecystectomy.

Mucoceles of the oral mucous membrane are benign tumoral diseases of the minor salivary glands of the oral mucous membrane. They most commonly occur in the labial mucosa. They can be caused by a break in the epithelium of the gland secreting saliva in the extra-glandular space and forming a pseudo cyst (extravasation mucoceles) or by a block in salivary flow due to an epithelial proliferation of the excretory duct forming salivary cyst (retention cyst). Various therapeutic approaches can be used. Traditional surgical resection is the most effective strategy with low recurrence rate. We here report a clinical case in order to give an update on this lesion. The patient involved in the study was treated in the Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, CCTD, Rabat, Morocco.

Comparative Study
BACKGROUND
Gallbladder mucoceles (GBM) typically are treated by cholecystectomy. Medical management rarely has been reported and medical and surgical management have not been compared.
HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES
To compare survival of dogs treated for GBM by medical management or cholecystectomy or both.
ANIMALS
Eighty-nine client-owned dogs diagnosed with GBM that received cholecystectomy or medical treatment or both from 2011 to 2017.
METHODS
Potential cases were identified by searching the medical records database. Data collected included signalment, clinicopathologic results, treatments, and ultrasonographic images and reports. Dogs were grouped according to the treatment received (medical management, surgical treatment, or both) that was chosen at the discretion of the attending veterinarian. Survival analysis was performed and prognostic variables identified and compared between treatment groups.
RESULTS
Of dogs surviving at least 14 days after diagnosis, median survival times were 1802 (95% confidence interval [CI], 855-not reached) days, 1340 (95% CI, 444-1340) days, and 203 (95% CI, 18-525) days, for the surgical, medical, and medical then surgical treatment groups, respectively, and differed significantly (P < .0001). Gallbladder mucocele type (P = .05), serum alkaline phosphatase activity (P = .0001), and serum creatinine (P = .002) and phosphorus (P = .04) concentrations were associated with decreased survival across groups. Suspicion of biliary rupture on abdominal ultrasound (AUS) examination was correlated with increased survival in the surgical group (P = .02).
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE
Cholecystectomy for the treatment of GBM results in the best long-term survival in dogs surviving the immediate postoperative period (14 days) compared to medical management. Although medical management is associated with shorter survival compared to surgical treatment, it is a reasonable alternative when surgery cannot be pursued.

Review
Biliary peritonitis is a growing concern in the canine patient and a thorough understanding of the disease will lead to better treatment outcomes. This article reviews the human and veterinary literature pertaining to biliary peritonitis including both scientific reviews and original publications. Compared to human medicine, biliary peritonitis can be difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Multiple risk factors exist increasing the likelihood of development of biliary peritonitis. Treatment recommendations center on stabilization, surgical cholecystectomy, and postoperative supportive care. Clinically, further studies on treatment and prevention in veterinary medicine are warranted.

Review
Mucous cyst is a benign but recurrent lesion. It is located on the dorsal surface of the digital extremity between the distal interphalangeal joint and the base of the nail. The nail is often affected by the cyst because of its topographical proximity. Nail plate deformity may even be the first obvious abnormality indicating the presence of a small mucous cyst or subungual cyst. Mucous cyst is associated with osteoarthritis of the joint, osteophytes probably being the main contributing factor. Surgical treatment by joint debridement and cyst removal is the most effective way of preventing recurrence.
