“…Poroma cells are monomorphic, small, cuboidal with basophilic round nuclei, inconspicuous nucleoli and compact eosinophilic cytoplasm Sharp demarcation present between the normal keratinocytes and poroma cells seen [9] . Among malignant tumors in our study, basal cell carcinoma accounted for most of the malignant cases (3.82%), which is in concordance with study conducted by Kilitci and Asan et al [7] . Although exposure to ultraviolet light is the major causative agent in the etiology of BCC, non-exposed sites such as the scalp, may demonstrate a different pathogenesis in the development of BCC [7] .…”

Introduction: A variety of inflammatory and neoplastic scalp lesions is encountered in clinical practice, which can be attributed to trauma, infection, abscess, allergic reaction, or tumor. Though a majority of scalp involvement is by benign processes, still it can be a site of malignant neoplasm. Aims and objectives 1. To study the morphological, histopathological types and clinico-pathological correlation of various scalp tumors. 2. To know the proportion of benign and malignant lesions in the scalp lesions. 3. To compare the data and other investigations with similar studies from other regions. Materials and methods:The present retrospective study is conducted in the department of pathology, B.J. Medical college and civil hospital, Ahmedabad over a duration of 5 years. A total of 105 cases of scalp lesions were evaluated. Scalp biopsies with clinical suspicion of a tumor which presented with a swelling, with or without pain or with non-healing ulcer were included in the study. The spectrum of lesions that appeared in the scalp were tabulated. Results: In our study, total 105 cases were observed during period of five years. Out of the total of 105 cases majority of them were benign accounting for 92.38% of all cases and malignant cases accounting for 7.62% of all cases. The sex distribution of scalp lesions in the present study was slightly greater in male accounting for 60% cases. Out of 105 cases majority are non-tumorous keratinous cysts accounting for 53.3% of all cases with trichilemmal cyst being most common. Conclusion: Benign tumors and tumor like lesions are more common than malignant tumors. Although mostly benign diagnosis and treatment of these lesions pose significant challenge due to distinct histopathological features. A high index of clinical suspicion is essential to ensure early detection of malignancies and initiate treatment.

“…8 cases (12.3%) among 65 such cases in their studies. 5,13 Lipoma occurs at the frequency of 5% to 14.5% in the scalp as documented by one study 6 . We had a single case of lipoma and fibrolipoma each accounting for 4.8% of the total cases.…”

“…5 Another study done by Kilitci et al, also mentioned the similar incidence of TC as 38.7%. 6 TC is produced by budding of outer root sheath of the isthmus of the follicle whereas EC arises from the follicular infundibulum. The two cystic lesions have to be differentiated as TC accounts for 90% of cystic lesions in the scalp due to its tendency to occur in high hair follicle concentration.…”

“…The incidence rate correlated with the study done by Kilitci et al on scalp lesions. 6 It is important to distinguish this lesion as the incidence of malignant transformation varies between 0.14% to 7%, of which basal cell carcinoma is said to be common and acanthotic type is frequently transformed. 26 Another was a case of small congenital nevus of less than 1.5cms in an occipital region which has to be clinically distinguished from EC as the risk of its transformation into melanoma is known to occur at an incidence rate of 2.6% to 4.9%.…”

Background: Cystic lesions of the scalp with a clinical diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst are encountered in clinical practice. However, these lesions had a different diagnostic interpretation on histopathology examination. Therefore our study focused on the lesions clinically resembling the presentation of epidermoid cyst in the scalp region. Materials and Methods: Forty-one cases of scalp lesions with a clinical diagnosis of epidermoid cyst over 2 years were reviewed. Details of the patients such as clinical diagnosis, age, gender, duration, gross findings, and histopathology diagnosis were obtained from the medical and histopathology records. Results: Epidermoid cysts diagnosed both clinically and on histopathology examination accounted for 29.26% whereas the clinical mimickers constituted 70.73%. The mean age of the patient was 35-years with an equal sex ratio. The commonest location was the parietal region (41.37%). Benign and malignant lesions consisted of 97.56% and 2.4% respectively. A trichilemmal cyst was the most common clinical mimicker diagnosed. Conclusions: Clinicians should be aware of wide differential diagnosis of epidermoid cyst in the scalp region as the management and outcome vary with each lesion. Histopathology examination proved to be a diagnostic tool in differentiating these lesions.
