Epidermoid Inclusion Cyst

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.

Congenital midface anomalies are rare. Multiple congenital midface anomalies occur in children. Imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) help in characterising the lesions, making definite diagnosis and knowing about intracranial extension. We present a case report of 8 year old female child with Frontonasal Epidermoid Cyst with patent dermal sinus tract opening on the dorsum of nose and intracranial extension through cribriform plate defect.

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.

Epidermoid Inclusion Cyst

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: Dermoid cysts in the anterior fontanel are rare lesions, problems around 0.1–0.5% of all cranial tumors. It originated during the early stages of development and derived from embryonic epithelial tissue located along the midline. CT and NMR studies are of choice to rule out intracranial extension. They are diagnosed and treated with surgery in childhood. In this article, a review of the literature on this pathology is performed and a clinical case is reported in order to show the results of imaging studies in the Dermoid Cyst in childhood. Case Presentation: Four-month-old female infant with Dermoid Cyst in the Anterior Fontanelle, without neurological compromise who was once a surgery. The surgical piece affected uniform, encapsulated, mobile, soft lesion with clear content. The obstetric history, clinical data, physical examination, imaging and histopathological studies confirmed the diagnosis of Dermoid Cyst, the patient’s postoperative evolution is satisfactory, currently undergoing follow-up by Neuropediatrics. Conclusion: in simple pediatric patients with Dermoid Cyst in the anterior Fontanelle, simple Computerized Axial Skull Tomography is very useful for its diagnosis, as well as the performance of surgical treatment and postoperative follow- up for a favorable evolution and better prognosis. Keywords: dermoid cyst, anterior fontanelle, congenital inclusion cyst, case report. RESUMEN Introducción: La frecuencia de presentación del Quiste Dermoide en fontanela anterior es muy baja y se desarrollan en la etapa embrionaria de la vida en la que el tejido embrionario de la línea media dá lugar a su formación. Los estudios de TAC y RMN son de elección para descartar la extensión intracraneal. Se diagnostican y tratan con cirugía en la niñez. En este artículo se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre esta patología y se relata un caso clínico con el objetivo de mostrar los resultados de estudios imagenológicos en el Quiste Dermoide en la infancia. Presentación de Caso: Lactante femenina de cuatro meses con Quiste Dermoide de la fontanela anterior sin complicaciones fue intervenida quirúrgicamente. Se realizó excéresis de lesión blanda, encapsulada y movible. Los antecedentes obstétricos, datos clínicos, examen físico, estudios imagenológicos e histopatológico confirmaron el diagnóstico de Quiste tipo Dermoide, la evolución posoperatoria de la paciente es satisfactoria, actualmente en seguimiento por Neuropediatría. Conclusiones: En pacientes pediátricos con Quiste Dermoide en la Fontanela anterior es de gran utilidad la Tomografía Axial Computarizada simple de Cráneo para su diagnóstico, así como, la realización de un tratamiento quirúrgico y el seguimiento postoperatorio para una favorable evolución y mejor pronóstico. Palabras clave: quiste dermoide, fontanela anterior, quiste de inclusión congénita, informe de caso.

Background: Aplasia cutis congenita is characterized by congenital focal absence of skin in a newborn. Case Report: A 45-day-old boy presented to the outpatient clinic of dermatology at King Abdul Aziz Medical City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with a flat scalp lesion on the space of the anterior fontanel. There was a positive family history of such condition in his older brother’s scalp, which resolved spontaneously within 3 weeks after labor, without any medical intervention. There were no associated hemangiomata or other congenital defects in his body. The case was admitted to the hospital. Ultrasound of the head showed bullae over the anterior fontanel, well-defined complex cyst, and an isolated subcutaneous lesion, with no evidence of intracranial extension. The baby was started on intravenous infusion of vancomycin (67 mg in dextrose 5% in water) for 3 days, but no improvement occurred to the scalp cyst. The baby started to receive 15 g of 2% mupirocin ointment, topically three times daily. After 2 days, the scalp cyst gradually decreased in size and became dry within 1 week. Follow-up after 3 months showed that the scalp lesion completely healed, leaving a very small atrophic scar and no further management of the lesion was needed. Conclusions: Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare condition of uncertain etiology, but consanguinity may play a role. Its management depends on its pattern, location, underlying causes, and associated anomalies.

Background<br />Tumors of the skull usually affect adult patients and less than twenty percent of pediatric patients. As the tumors grow, the surrounding bone may undergo destruction and erosion. When the tumors are located in the fontanel, the timely closure of the fontanel may be inhibited. Epidermoid cysts are benign tumors that are intracranially located and very rarely in the midline of the cranium. Meanwhile about 32% of stratified-squamous epithelial epidermoid cysts affect the head and neck region and only 6.7% occur in the scalp. We report an unusual epidermoid cyst located and growing in the anterior fontanel of a pediatric patient and inhibiting fontanel closure.<br /><br />Case Description <br />A 21-month-old boy and his parents visited our polyclinic because there was a lump on his anterior fontanel since four months before they came to the hospital. The lump was initially the size of a peanut and had grown to become as large as a quail’s egg. The physical examination was normal and the brain CT-scan showed bone destruction without any intracranial lesion. The tumor was excised on the preoperative diagnosis of dermoid cyst. Histopathology examination showed the characteristics of an epidermoid cyst. The cyst had a wall and was full of keratin flakes without hair follicles or sebaceous glands. Follow-up one year after complete excision did not reveal any recurrence. <br /><br />Conclusion<br />Epidermoid cysts in the skull of pediatric patients must be completely excised as soon as possible because their growth can damage the bone and inhibit the closure of the sutures.
