“…These cysts are rare in the extremities, but they are more common in the upper extremities than in the lower extremities (2). Epidermoid cysts of soles are reported to have an incidence of 7.2% of plantar lesions, becoming the third most common type of lesion in this location.…”

“…A relapse rate of 17% in epidermoid cysts is associated with incomplete excision. Beymour et al found a significantly higher recurrence rate in patients with intraoperative rupture because the surrounding tissue was contaminated by pathological cell implantation via intralesional excision (2). Although epidermoid cysts are benign lesions, malignant transformation into basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma has been reported in several cases (5).…”

“…An epidermoid cyst is a nodule bounded by a wall or capsule in the epidermis and contains keratin, a product of the epidermis. Epidermoid cysts are also known as epidermal cysts, epidermal inclusion cysts, epithelial cysts, keratin cysts, implantation cysts, atheroma cysts, or infundibular cysts (1,2). This cyst is intradermal or subcutaneous, and clinically this cyst is round, soft, elevated or protrude, moveable from the surrounding tissue, and grow slowly (1,3).…”

An epidermoid cyst is benign cystic tumor coated with squamous epithelium and contains keratin. It generally appear on the body parts which have pilosebaceous follicles, such as head, neck, and body. The manifestation of the disease is a skin-colored, mobile, painless nodule with a punctum in the center. Epidermoid cyst of sole is often similar to clavus, callus, and verruca plantaris. However, epidermoid cyst of sole is rare because the area is without pilosebaceous follicles. The etiopathology is believed due to trauma that causes implantation of epidermal cells into the dermis layer, thus triggering the formation of epidermoid cysts. This case report a girl with an epidermoid cyst of sole that was initially thought as a verruca plantaris and clavus. A 14-year-old girl complained about a bump on her right foot that got bigger during nine months. The lesions surface was slippery, and the patient felt pain when walking. The patient denied any trauma or changing footwear with friends or relatives. Examination in the right lateral plantar pedis region, a nodule was found skin-colored, round, measuring 2x2 cm, and solitary. The patient was planned to undergo excochleation, but since a white cystic mass was found during the operation, it was continued with extirpation surgery. The histopathological examination results showed a stroma with keratin, which was concluded as an epidermoid cyst. In the case of epidermoid cysts with atypical clinical symptoms and unusual lesion locations, histopathological examination is required for a definite diagnosis.

Tumorous conditions of the pediatric hand and wrist: Ten-year experience of a single center

et al. 2020

Hand tumors are uncommon and the malignant ones are less commonly seen pathologies. [1] Pediatric hand tumors are particularly rare and one of the less investigated topics of musculoskeletal tumors. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the distribution and prevalence of pediatric hand tumors and tumor-like lesions according to age and gender. Patients and methods: We retrospectively examined the details of hospital records of 646 patients who were operated for hand mass between January 2009 and January 2019 and whose pathological diagnosis was established in the same hospital. A total of 54 patients (18 males, 36 females; mean age 12.07 years; range, 3 month to 17 years) under 18 years of age who had been operated for the wrist or hand mass were included in the study. Results: Out of 54 tumors, 53 were benign (98%) and one was malignant (2%). There were 42 soft tissue tumors (78%) and 12 bone tumors (22%). The most common soft tissue mass was ganglion cyst (n=12). Six out of 12 ganglion cysts were on the dorsal side of hand or wrist and six were on the volar side. The distribution of the tumors according to gender was not statistically significant (p=0.73). We had two recurrences: one patient with giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath and one with palmar fibromatosis. Conclusion: Pediatric hand/wrist masses are mostly benign tumorous conditions. The location of the pathologies may be different from the adults. Diagnosis of the tumor should be established carefully clinically and radiologically while malignant tumors should be kept in mind by both pediatricians and orthopedic surgeons.
