Basal cell carcinoma arising from the epidermoid cyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Basal cell carcinoma and epidermoid cysts are common skin afflictions that arise in the epidermis and hair follicles of the skin. Only a small number of cases have been reported in which a basal cell carcinoma has arisen within an epidermoid cyst. We present the clinical features of this unusual condition in this report and believe that the information will prove useful to researchers of basal cell carcinoma.

متن کاملMultiple Epidermoid Cysts Arising from the Extratesticular Scrotal, Spermatic Cord and Perineal Area
An extratesticular scrotal epidermoid cyst is a relatively very rare condition, and an epidermoid cyst arising from the spermatic cord area is extremely rare. We report a case of multiple epidermoid cysts arising from the extratesticular scrotum, spermatic cord, and lower extremities. To our best knowledge, concomitant occurrence of these lesions has not been reported previously in the literature.
