Epidermal inclusion cyst (EIC) is one of the common conditions usually associated with trauma. This cyst commonly presents on the scalp, face, neck, trunk, and extremities. Epidermal inclusion cyst is believed to originate through implantation of epidermal element by either surgical or accidental trauma into deeper mesenchymal tissue and its subsequent cystic transformation. The EICs are indolent in nature, slow to progress, and remain asymptomatic unless secondarily infected. The authors report a case of EIC that occurred in a 35-year-old female after surgery of squamous cell carcinoma.

A 66-year-old male was referred to our hospital for further examination of a scrotal mass. Because of the risk of testicular cancer, we first clamped the vessels as a course of higher orchiectomy. Then, we approached the tumor through the scrotum and successfully resected it while preserving the testis. A histopathological diagnosis revealed an epidermal cyst. We herein report a rare case of an intrascrotal epidermal cyst successfully treated while preserving the testis.

Facial cysts are often classified as large if 1-5 cm and giant when exceeding 5 cm in size. 1-3 Giant facial cysts can grow to be larger than 10 cm and attach to skin or underlying structures, such as nerves. 1 Inflamed large or giant cysts of the face represent a diagnostic and therapeutic quandary, as they can appear infected. Confirmation of lesion extent has been accomplished using MRI or ultrasound as described in the surgical literature. 3,4 Excision has been a leading therapy for giant facial cysts, though with high risk of recurrence and potential for scarring. 1 Cutibacterium acnes is believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of cystic acne through triggered inflammatory pathways. 5 We describe a case series of adolescents with large facial cysts, some of which were related to C acnes.
