“…The vast majority of cysts are less than 1 cm in diameter and mostly occur because of exposure to trauma, including vaginal delivery. One study reported a case of a 4-cm perineal epidermoid cyst in a 28-year-old woman who complained of a tender vaginal mass on the episiotomy site 10 years after vaginal delivery was reported [12]. In this case study, the patient complained of a perineal mass after vaginal delivery about eight years ago.…”

Epidermoid cysts are small, solitary, and slow-growing lesions that rarely appear in the perineum and mostly arise because of trauma. This study examined a huge perineal epidermoid cyst that slowly grew over eight years in a premenopausal woman. Ultrasonography showed that the hemorrhage in the cyst was a semisolid hypoechoic mass, which mimicked endometrioma, and was tentatively diagnosed as scar endometriosis in the perineum after vaginal delivery. This case study highlights the importance of wide surgical excision and histopathologic diagnosis, even with typical ultrasonography and surgical findings.

“…Most of the reported cases of epidermal inclusion cyst were successfully treated by cyst marsupialization without sequelae, and specifically without recurrent incontinence [4][5][6] . Reported trials of aspiration are limited in the literature; however, it is well known that there is a high probability of refilling of the cyst and recurrence of symptoms in an average of 4-6 months after aspiration 4 .…”
