A Case of Digital Myxoid Cyst Coexisting with Epidermal Inclusion Cyst.

چکیده
A 62-year-old male developed a solitary asymptomatic nodule on the lateral aspect of the distal interphalangeal joint of the right great toe. Histopathologic findings demonstrated a myxoid cyst with a concomitant epidermal inclusion cyst.
