Clinicopathological Appraisal of Cutaneous Cysts: A 2-Year Retrospective Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cysts, primarily epidermal and trichilemmal, are commonly seen in clinical practice. Rupture, infection, inflammation, and rarely malignant transformation may complicate the cysts. This study aims to analyze the clinicohistological features of cutaneous cysts.

Materials and methods

A retrospective review of patients with the diagnosis of cyst confirmed on histopathology over the past two years (2020-2021) was performed. Clinical details comprised of age, gender, site of involvement, size, duration, and associated symptoms. Histological examination included cyst wall lining, type of keratinization, complications like rupture, inflammation, foreign body giant cell reaction, calcification, and malignant change.

Results

A total of 324 cases with mean age of 37.
