“…Solitary lesions are seen in 30% of the cases. 7 In our study all the patients had solitary, slow-growing, and non-tender presentations. TC needs a wider excision to avoid recurrence or progression to more aggressive proliferating trichilemmal tumor which can undergo malignant transformation.8Till now malignancy in proliferating trichilemmal tumors has been reported in approximately 30 cases.…”

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.
