Abstract A 30-month-old Mexican girl with an inclusion subgaleal cyst located over the anterior fontanel is described. This is the first such case ever diagnosed at our institution and, we believe, the first reported from Mexico. Radical excision of the lesion was accomplished. The internal table of the skull was eroded, but no intracranial extension was noticed. As the cyst contained no hair follicles nor any sebaceous or sweat glands, it was histologically classified as an epidermoid cyst. This is another example of such a lesion in an infant of non-African descent.

Abstract Epidermoid inclusion cysts are benign lesions that occasionally occur in the distal phalanges of the fingers but are less frequently identified and underreported in the toes. We describe a 55-year-old man with a history of work-related trauma followed by painful expansion of his right great toe, resulting in great anxiety. Imaging studies revealed a radiolucent lesion in the distal phalanx of his right hallux. Clinical differential diagnoses included the possibility of an intramedullary inclusion cyst and other various radiolucent lesions. During surgery, a cystic lesion that contained creamy material was discovered. Frozen section diagnosis of the lesion was an intraosseous epidermoid inclusion cyst. The lesion was removed and the patient recovered uneventfully. Although it has been reported that an unduly large number of phalangeal cysts have been treated by amputation, the judicious use of intraoperative frozen sections can prevent this scenario.

Abstract Epidermoid inclusion cysts of the perineal region are a rare entity, which require appropriate diagnosis and management. Here we describe the unusual case of a large protruding epidermoid inclusion cyst originating from the intersphincteric anal plane, which was mobilized and excised successfully. Essential investigations to ensure accurate diagnosis in addition to surgical technique to reduce recurrence and patient morbidity are described in this case report.

ABSTRACT Epidermoid inclusion cysts are the most common types of simple dermal epithelial benign lesions, presenting as wellencapsulated subepidermal mobile nodules. They arise on hair-bearing areas but vulva is a rare site. We here report clinical and ultrasonography (USG) findings of a big epidermal nontraumatic inclusion epidermoid cyst at the vulva which was excised and histopathological examination confirmed diagnosis of epidermoid inclusion cyst without any dysplasia.

✓ An unusual type of congenital subgaleal cyst, either dermoid or epidermoid, was found in 21 Nigerian infants. This entity was located in the midline of the scalp, anywhere from above the nasion to the inion, and occupied the subgaleal space. These cysts were noted soon after birth and gradually enlarged. They had no intracranial extension and were easily excised intact. Clinically, radiologically, and histologically they were similar to congenital inclusion dermoid cysts of the anterior fontanel. The histology and some of the peculiarities of these cysts are described. Although most of these cysts occur at the anterior fontanel, they can occur anywhere in the midline, and the subgaleal space of the anterior fontanel is not the exclusive site, as has been claimed by previous authors.

Introduction: An accumulation of Cerebrospinal fluid in subdural spaces is known as subdural hygroma. It is encountered in all age-groups but overall, most common in elderly. The exact pathogenesis of Subdural Hygroma is still unclear. Presentation of Case: A 03 months old female child was brought to Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, Maharashtra, India on date 02/10/2020 with the complaints of breathing difficulty, elevated body temperature, excessive enlargement of head with bulged and tense fontanel, high pitch shrill cry, restlessness, nausea and vomiting. On physical examination, it is found that head circumference was 44 cm, head size was enlarged, bulged anterior fontanel, angular cheilitis, pale conjunctiva as well as peripheral cyanosis were present. The child was diagnosed at birth and child was brought to Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha for surgical management of subdural hygroma. Intervention: The treatment of patients was started immediately after admission.Burr-Hole Evacuation was done on 4th October 2020 and the patient was discharged on 08th October 2020.  Conclusion: In this report, we mainly focus on expert surgical management and excellent nursing care helped in managing the complicated case very nicely. The patient response was positive to conservative and nursing management. The patient was discharged without postoperative complications and satisfactory with recovery.
