Cutaneous Ciliated Cyst of the Abdominal Wall

Abstract: A cutaneous ciliated cyst is a rare lesion typically found on the lower extremity of young girls shortly after puberty. Here, we report a case involving a previously unreported site (i.e., abdominal wall) in a 14-year-old girl. We also describe immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings, review and analyze the world literature, and offer insights as to the pathogenesis of this lesion.

“…In contrast, cutaneous ciliated cyst (CCC) is found very rarely in females as a single lesion, largely in the lower extremities, and even more rarely in males and on the back (7,8). CCC was reported to rapidly increase in size during pregnancy, suggesting that these lesions are sensitive to hormonal stimulation (9).…”

“…La histogénesis de esta entidad ha estado sujeta a controversia desde su descripción, postulándose diversos orígenes: remanentes embriológicos de la membrana cloacal 12,13 , metaplasia ciliada de glán-dulas sudoríparas ecrinas o apocrinas preexistentes 3,4,14 y secuestro y migración (heterotopia) de células de ductos müllerianos (paramesonéfricos) durante la embriogénesis inicial 2,11 . Esta última teoría se basó en el hecho de de que la mayoría de casos de esta entidad aparecen en extremidades inferiores de mujeres jóvenes 2 , el aspecto histológi-co y perfil inmunohistoquímico similar al del epitelio de la trompa de Falopio 11,15 y la presencia de receptores de hormonas esteroideas en el epitelio quístico 2,15 .…”

No obstante la descripción de lesiones con idénticas características histológicas en varones [3][4][5][6][7]12 o en localizaciones anatómicas como espalda o cuero cabelludo 2,14 contradicen esta teoría.…”
