Epidermal inclusion cysts (EICs) of the breast develop in the deep breast parenchyma, and they are very rare. Only about 10 cases have been reported in the English-language literature to date. In this report, we present a rare case of a giant EIC with infection arising within the deep breast parenchyma. Unlike a typical EIC of the breast, the EIC in the present case was a cystic and solid lesion containing a large amount of liquid within the cyst and popcorn-like calcification in the wall. In this report, we describe the contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM), ultrasonography, and computed tomography findings and provide a reference for the diagnosis of EICs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the CESM findings of an EIC. Our case illustrates that CESM has excellent performance similar to that of magnetic resonance imaging and is much more effective than conventional digital mammography. Additionally, our case indicates that precise correlation of CESM with ultrasonography findings contributes to the diagnosis of EICs. This rare case with multiple imaging findings will increase the awareness of EICs in the breast parenchyma.

Abstract Introduction Epidermal inclusion cyst is a relatively common condition usually associated with trauma, with characteristic presentation, and seen in the extremities. However, it is an uncommon entity in the head and neck region. Objective The purpose of this paper is to report the unusual presentation of epidermal inclusion cyst in the maxilla without any definitive history of trauma and to review the concerned English language literature. Conclusion In the absence of any definitive history of trauma, only a thorough clinical examination along with characteristic radiological imaging and histopathological findings will help in diagnosing epidermal inclusion cyst.

Abstract Glomus tumor is a benign neoplasm composed of a perivascular proliferation of glomic cells that resembles the normal glomus body. Usually, it appears as a solitary, symptomatic small blue-red nodule, located in the deep dermis or subcutis of upper or lower extremities of young to middle-aged adults. Cases affecting the oral cavity are very rare, with only 23 well-documented cases reported in the English-language literature. Herein, we present a rare case of glomus tumor of the upper lip, and review the literature of cases involving the mouth.

Language Literature

Dermoid cysts of the oral cavity are rare. When they do occur, the most common site is the floor of the mouth. Intralingual dermoid cysts are even more rare, and until now, there were only 15 such reports in the English-language literature. In this article, we describe two additional cases. Magnetic resonance imaging is extremely helpful in establishing a differential diagnosis. Surgical excision is recommended to correct deglutition and speech problems. Its rarity notwithstanding, dermoid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tongue masses in the younger population.

This case report describes a rare case of progressive muscle weakness in a patient treated for eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) for many years before being diagnosed with a second autoimmune disease: dermatomyositis. Our case is a report of a 65-year-old male diagnosed with eosinophilic fasciitis 7 years before being evaluated in our service at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, due to progressive muscle weakness despite the chronic treatment with methotrexate. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the lower extremity showed enhancement throughout the thigh musculature, which led us to pursue biopsies of the fascia and muscle in order to confirm the diagnosis of EF associated with myopathy. This case illustrates the need to consider the possibility of myopathy in patients diagnosed with EF whenever muscle weakness is more prominent than expected.

Epidermal cysts are congenital lesions that originate from embryonal tissue remnants. It requires histopathology for its diagnosis. In this case, we report a young male with no comorbidities presenting with perianal swelling. He was evaluated and taken up for surgery. Post operative period was uneventful and he was discharged on 2nd post operative day. He is doing well at 4 months of follow up.

AbstractObjective:We report a rare case of otophyma.Method:A case report of otophyma and a review of the current literature concerning otophyma and the more common rhinophyma, are presented.Results:A 46-year-old male presented with slow growing fleshy growths on both auricles which were excised. A diagnosis of otophyma was made. Although rosacea is more common, otophyma and other ‘phymas’ are thought to be the end stage of the rosacea spectrum of skin disease. However, unlike rhinophyma, otophyma is rarely seen and as a result there is little in the English language literature regarding it. Consequently, the management of otophyma is largely based on previous experiences with rhinophyma.Conclusion:To our knowledge this is the first case report of otophyma in the otolaryngology literature and only the second described in the English language literature. This case demonstrates the difficulties faced in diagnosing this rare condition and our successful management of this case.
