Epidermal cysts are benign slow growing tumors resulting from proliferation of epidermal cells. Usually cysts are asymptomatic; however, they may become inflamed or secondarily infected. Epidermal cysts are solitary subepithelial cysts, are slowly progressive and firm in consistency. They are most commonly seen on the face, scalp, neck and trunk. Epidermoid cysts are frequently seen on the uppe...

A hugh episcleral traumatic conjunctival inclusion cyst enveloping almost the whole eye, which appeared in the left phthisical eye of a young woman who sustained a perforating ocular injury a few years before enucleation, is described.

INTRODUCTION Usual causes of a papule or nodule in a post-operative site after resection of a skin tumor are residual or recurrent tumor, proliferative scar, or suture granuloma with inflammation and granulation tissue. Inverted or trapped hair, an acquired trichostasis, has not been implicated as a cause in such cases, this is probably the first case reported in literature. CASE PRESENTATION...

The differential diagnosis of a cystic lesion in the submandibular area can be difficult. We report a case of epidermal cyst of submandibular gland which is relatively rare compared to the commoner epidermoid cyst.

A 44-year-old white man presented with a 4 year history of right scrotal mass. He had a prior excision of another scrotal mass at a different medical facility, which was reported as benign. He had no pain, fever, chills, nausea or vomiting. Urine analysis was normal. Prior medical history included insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease, and end-stage...

We report a case of an epithelial inclusion cyst of the iris following cataract surgery that was successfully treated with en bloc excision, after an unsuccessful attempt with Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Nd YAG) Laser. A 60-year-old man had undergone cataract surgery two years back. One year later, he developed a pigmented epithelial inclusion cyst of the iris which progressively ...

Pathological structures called epidermoid bone inclusion cysts are surrounded by a layer of stratified squamous epithelium that contains keratin debris. They go the name epidermal as well. Intraosseous uncommon lesions can develop result trauma (puncture wound or pressure erosion). typically affect toes, phalanges, and head. The distal phalanx fingers is where phalangeal involvement most freque...

Epidermal inclusion cysts (EICs) are the most common cutaneous cysts, occurring anywhere in the body but infrequently on the breast. It is usually seen in the third and fourth decades of life and very rarely seen in children. They can be either congenital or posttraumatic. Most of the EICs described in children were secondary to trauma. Congenital EIC on the breast is quite a rare entity. Thus,...
