Epidermoid cysts (congenital and acquired) are not the unusual benign lesions. But to our knowledge, this is the first report in the English literature that describes an uncommon presentation of the infected acquired epidermoid cyst (ie, punctum–associated cyst or atheroma) manifesting as unilateral facial erysipelas in a 74-year-old Caucasian female. Terminology and the “submarine sign” ultrasound appearance are also analyzed.

Background: Alagille syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome, which arises due to defects in the Notch signaling pathway, resulting in liver, cardiopulmonary, renal, skeletal, and ophthalmologic problems, among others. Epidermoid cysts are rare congenital benign lesions that develop from ectopic ectodermal cell rests formed during neurulation. Case Description: A 24-year-old Alagille syndrome patient presented with hearing loss and was found to have a sizable posterior fossa mass. He underwent craniotomy for uneventful resection of the lesion, which was found to be an epidermoid cyst. Conclusion: While our case may represent a coincidental occurrence of two pathologies presenting together, given that epidermoid cysts arise from aberrant neurulation, and in light of the crucial role of the Notch signaling pathway both in normal neurogenesis and in the pathogenesis of Alagille syndrome, we hypothesize a possible association between these entities.

Epidermoid cysts are generally benign lesions surrounded by squamous epithelium with cystic contents. The lining of the cysts produce keratin, which resemble a cheese-like material. They typically occur in the skin and mucous membranes and are congenital in origin; iatrogenic epidermoid cysts are rare. Epidermoid cysts are usually painless and asymptomatic, and their diagnosis is based on histological examination. This paper aims to present the case report of a 23-year-old patient with an iatrogenic epidermoid cyst that occurred following tracheostomy. The importance of preoperative radiological imaging in the diagnosis of epidermoid cysts is also highlighted.

Introduction: Epidermoid cysts of the temporal bone are rare, benign and slow-growing lesions. Patient and Methods: We report the case of a 69-year-old female patient followed up for a symptomatic intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the temporal scale and left mastoid region, which had been operated on but recurred. Results: MRI demonstrated a well-limited lesion seen as a hyposignal on T1-weighted images, hypersignal on T2-weighted images, on FLAIR and on diffusion-weighted images not enhanced by gadolinium. The tumour was compressive, and bone lysis was seen on CT. Conclusion: Epidermoid cysts of the temporal bone are rare, benign lesions whose diagnosis is based on fluid signals seen on MRI but absent on FLAIR sequences.

Repeated Aspiration

Spinal epidermoid cysts are rare lesions and epidermoid cyst in intramedullary location is even rarer. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment; however, in cases of recurrence, repeat surgery becomes quite difficult. Treatment of recurrent intramedullary epidermoid cyst by surgery alone is a challenge. We managed one such rare case with repeated aspiration and sclerotherapy. Here, we have highlighted hypertonic saline sclerotherapy as a promising tool to treat recurrent spinal epidermoid cysts.

Intratesticular epidermoid cysts are rare, benign, well-defined, and solitary keratinized intratesticular lesions. They usually present as a painless, discrete, and firm swollen area before being diagnosed. Preoperative diagnosis of epidermoid cysts is often difficult. Sonography is a useful imaging modality in the preoperative assessment of testicular lesions. Although it is difficult to distinguish epidermoid cysts from germ cell tumors, certain sonographic characteristics such as the classical “onion-peel” appearance, the negative tumor markers, and the underlying symptoms should raise the suspicion of epidermoid cysts.

AbstractEpidermoid cysts (ECs) of the central nervous system (CNS) constitute benign circumscribed lesions that are more common in lateral than in midline sites. Epidermoid cysts of the CNS arise more frequently in the cerebellopontine angle, around the pons, near the sella, within the temporal lobe, in the diploe, and in the spinal canal. Most common tumoral lesion of sellar region is pituitary adenoma, and sellar cystic epithelial masses may be difficult to differentiate based only on clinical and imaging findings. Epidermoid cysts are covered by keratinized squamous epithelium and are usually filled with keratin lamellae. The process is, for the most part, maldevelopmental in origin, presumably arising from trapped surface ectodermal elements in association with the developing CNS during the closure of the neural groove or formation of the secondary cerebral vesicles. In the present study, the authors describe a case of sellar epidermoid cyst producing endocrine alterations and visual disturbance in a 35 years woman, and review the physiopathological and diagnostic criteria of this lesion.

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.

ABSTRACTEpidermoid cysts are commonly seen intracranial lesions but their occurrence in the spine is rare. They account for <1% of all the benign tumors of the spine. These are benign epithelial-lined cysts filled with keratin. They are classified into two types: congenital or acquired. Congenital epidermoid cysts are more commonly associated with spinal dysraphic states such as syringomyelia, dermal sinus and spina bifida whereas the acquired cysts are associated with repeated lumbar punctures. Based on the location, they can be extradural, intradural, extramedullary, or intramedullary. Most of the epidermoids are intradural extramedullary. Intramedullary epidermoid cysts are very uncommon. We report a case of a 6-year-old female patient with dorsal epidermoid cyst with neurological deficits. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine showed a well-defined lesion from D9 to D12 which was hypointense on T1W1 and heterogeneously hyperintense on T2W2. Surgery was performed to excise the lesion and to decompress the spinal cord. Histopathological examination of the excised lesion confirmed it as an epidermoid cyst.
