The infundibular cyst is a skin lesion typically located on hairy areas that is extremely common. In fact, it is part of the daily routine of any pathology laboratory. Although both the dermatologist, the surgeon and the pathologist are sufficiently familiar with it and guide each case correctly, sometimes there are histological peculiarities that justify the histological study of the lesion. The coincidence of a molluscum contagiosum, a highly contagious entity in the context of an infundibular cyst, implies taking a series of precautions that would not be implemented based solely on clinical criteria.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
