چکیده

abstractepidermal inclusion cysts are uncommon in the breast, but the consequences can besevere when these cysts occur in the breast parenchyma. here, we report two suchcases. the patient in case 1 was an 37-year-old woman with a 3-cm palpable mass inthe right breast. mammography revealed a round and smoothly outlined mass, whichindicated a benign tumor, and sonography showed an irregularly shaped and heterogeneoushypoechoic mass, fibroadenoma was suspected on the basis of clinical andimage findings, but excisional biopsy revealed an epidermal inclusion cyst. the patientin case 2 was a 50-year-old woman with a 2.5-cm lesion in the left breast. mammographyrevealed a round, dense, smoothly outlined mass, and sonography showeda well-defined, central hyperechoic mass. . breast cancer was suspected on the basisof the sonographic findings and the age of the patient, but the resected specimen revealedan epidermal inclusion cyst. although epidermal inclusion cysts are benign,occasionally they may play a role in the origin of squamous carcinoma of the breast. .mammographic and sonographic features of an epidermal cyst may mimic a malignantlesion. malignant change appears to occur more frequently in epidermal inclusioncysts in the mammary gland, compared to common epidermal inclusion cysts,and this may be associated with origination of mammary epidermal inclusion cystsfrom squamous metaplasia of the mammary duct epithelium.epidermmoid inclusion cyst of the breast is potentially serious, although such cystsare rare, and differentiation from a malignant or benign breast tumor is required. excisionis probably the most appropriate treatment, and can eliminate the possible riskof malignant transformation.
