Perineal Epidermal Cyst

Abstract

This paper presents a case of perineal epidermal cyst. Diagnostic imagings by ultrasonography, CT scanning and MR imaging described the mass as a cystic tumor on the perineal median raphe. It was excised for the histological diagnosis. The removed mass was shown microscopically to be filled with laminated keratin and to be lined with differentiated cornified squamous epithelium. The pathological diagnosis was benign perineal epidermal cyst.

MRI Findings of Subcutaneous Epidermal Cysts: Emphasis on the Presence of Rupture

“…Subcutaneous epidermal cysts commonly involve the scalp, face, neck, trunk, and back; fewer than 10% occur in the extremities [2]. A few MRI reports have been issued on subcutaneous epidermal cysts [3][4][5][6][7]. Shibata et al [3] described the MRI features of five cases of epidermal cysts in the extremities.…”

Nadir bir olgu: Perianal yerleşimli büyük epidermal kist

“…Ultrasonography, endosonography, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging may be used in the diagnosis of perianal cysts. Laboratory tests are not helpful in differential diagnosis, however high levels of CEA may indicate malignancy (4)(5). Preoperative endoscopy may be used to evaluate the relation of the mass with anal canal and rectum as well as other accompanying pathological findings (6)(7).…”
