“…The pathophysiology of an epidermal cyst is thought of as either duct obstruction of a sebaceous gland, developmental defect of the sebaceous duct, or deep implantation of epidermal cells resulting from a blunt penetrating injury or previous surgery7. Trauma is considered to be the main cause; however, our patients had no trauma history.…”

Epidermal cysts are the most common cysts of the skin. Aconventional epidermal cyst rarely reaches a size of more than 5 cm in diameter. We report on two cases of giant epidermal cyst occurring in the neck. One patient had a cyst measuring 12×9×9 cm and the other patient had a non-pulsatile, dome-shaped lesion in the neck, which measured 6×5×3 cm. The lesions were totally excised. Histopathologically, both were confirmed as giant epidermal cysts.

erm cell tumors are most commonly located within the gonads.1 Rare extragonadal locations of these tumors include the retroperitoneum, mediastinum, sacrococcygeum, and central nervous system and are considered to result from aberrant migration of germ cells from the yolk sac during fetal development. [1][2][3][4] We present transvaginal sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of a massive epidermoid cyst extending from the pelvis to the buttock. Case ReportA 28-year-old woman, para 1, presented with gluteal pain exacerbated during sitting and walking. Other than endometriosis confirmed by laparoscopy after secondary dysmenorrhea 7 years before her current presentation, her history was unremarkable. On physical examination, the patient was in no acute distress. Vital signs were normal, and her abdomen was soft and nontender. Pelvic examination disclosed a normal-sized uterus and adnexa. A symmetric soft pelvic mass approximately 6 cm in diameter was noted posterior to the uterus. A large cystic mass measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter bulging into the medial aspect of the right buttock was noted.Transvaginal sonography depicted a retroverted uterus with normal ovaries (the right containing a hemorrhagic cyst). A large heterogeneous mass located posterior to the uterus was noted (Figures 1 and 2). The patient was offered yet declined sonography of the right buttock. Magnetic resonance imaging delineated a pelvic mass with a large extrapelvic extension protruding to the medial aspect of the right buttock (Figure 3).

Giant Multilocular Epidermoid Cyst on the Left Buttock

Abstract: This rare case of giant epidermoid cyst was treated successfully by local excision followed by primary closure. Dissection of the mass from the surrounding tissue was extremely easy because of a well-defined capsule.
