“…3 The light microscopical hallmark is cyst lined by stratified squaomus epithelium with a granular layer and lumina containing abundant whitish laminated keratinous material. 4,5 found the few unusual sites of epidermal inclusion cyst in the breasts, testis, tonsil, sole of foot and oral cavity etc. The prime and early diagnosis of EIC is as important as treatment for the benefit of the patients as the prognosis matters.…”

Background: Epidermoid inclusion cysts are common benign lesions of the pilosebaceous origin that encountered anywhere in the body. Most common sites are hairy and non hairy areas mainly scalp, back, neck and trunk. Objective of present study was to highlight and document the cytohistomorphological features of epidermoid inclusion cysts (EIC) at unusual locations of the body in our tertiary care center.Methods: The present study is retrospective, cross sectional study done on cytohistopathological specimen over a period of 30 months from June 2016 to December 2017. A total of 82 cases of EIC were included in the study. All the sites were included in the study that is usual as well as unusual. Sebaceous and dermoid cysts were excluded from the study. Unusual sites of EIC were collected, tabulated and compared with existing literature.Results: The most common affected site of EIC in our study was head, neck and face (42.7%) followed by extremities and axilla (29%), back (11%) and chest/abdomen (8.6%). Peak incidence of EIC was found in 31 to 40 years (34.1%) with male preponderance (1.5:1). The unusual sites encountered were oral cavity and tonsil in head neck region, sole in the extremities, breasts and testis.Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of FNAC in early diagnosis and histopathology for confirmation and treatment purposes in epidermoid inclusion cysts. It provides prompt response to avoid cosmetic and functional disabilities in unusual locations of common lesions like EIC because the differentials may from inflammatory to malignant ones.

Background:Epidermoid cysts, one of the common benign intradermal or subcutaneous tumors commonly result from the trauma to the pilosebaceous unit in the hair bearing area. In areas without hair, these cysts are considered implantation and proliferation of squamous epithelium into the dermis due to injury.Aims:The aim is to evaluate the clinicopathological details with emphasis on unusual findings related to epidermoid cysts.Study Design:This is a retrospective cross-sectional study carried out over 2 years.Materials and Methods:A total of 103 cases of epidermoid cysts were included in the study. The clinical details such as age, gender, sites, and dimensions were noted. The histopathological findings were evaluated and correlated with the clinical findings.Results:The highest incidence was observed in the age group of 21–30 years (23.3%, 24/103) and the most common affected region was the head and neck region (32%, 33/103). The size of cysts ranged from 0.3 to 9 cm in diameter with a mean of 2.1 cm. The unusual sites observed in this study were four at the left sole, two at right sole, two at prepuce, and one each at the right finger, left palm, and oral cavity. Histopathological findings included rupture of epidermoid cysts with giant cell reaction, melanin pigmentation, and association with other pathologies such as keloid and lipoma.Conclusion:Epidermoid cysts are common benign intradermal or subcutaneous tumors, but they can have unusual presentations and histopathological findings. Epidermoid cysts need early diagnosis and treatment as they can cause cosmetic and functional impairment.

Epidermoid cyst on frenulum of the penis: A case report

Epidermoid cyst in the penis is uncommon and only a small number of cases have been reported. We presented a thirty-two-year-old male patient with a case of slow growing, mobilized, non-tender frenulum of the penis mass that developed in 10 years period. Surgery treatment was taken under local anesthesia. Pathological examination was revealed as epidermoid cyst. Care must be given during examination of these lesions to rule out another entity. If there is any indication, complete excision is the best treatment as another treatment may lead to the risk of recurrence.
