epidermoid cyst

They appear similar to epidermoid cysts; however, are not limited to a specified location on the body.

An epidermoid cyst is a benign cyst usually found on the skin.

Epidermoid cysts are usually diagnosed when a person notices a bump on their skin and seeks medical attention.

The epidermoid cyst may be totally asymptomatic, or it may hurt when touched.

Occasionally, an epidermoid cyst will present with trigeminal neuralgia.

Patient 201 is now 54 years of age and has had epidermoid cysts removed as well as having a large jaw osteoma.

In contrast to pilar cysts, epidermoid cysts are usually present on parts of the body with relatively little hair.

Epidermoid cysts result from either developmental problems before birth or from an injury to the mucous membrane.

Although they are not malignant, there are rare cases of malignant tumors arising from an epidermoid cyst.

Epidermoid cysts and dermoid cysts may cause meningitis by releasing irritant matter into the subarachnoid space.

CNS epidermoid cysts can give rise to Mollaret's meningitis especially with surgical manipulation of cyst contents.

Verrucous cysts (also known as "Cystic papillomas") are a cutaneous condition that resemble epidermoid cysts except that the lining demonstrates papillomatosis.

The health consequences of FGM can include recurrent urinary and vaginal infections, chronic pain, infertility, fatal hemorrhaging, epidermoid cysts, and complications during childbirth.

Several synonyms exist for epidermoid cysts, including epidermal cyst, epidermal inclusion cyst, infundibular cyst and keratin cyst.

These manifestations include upper gastrointestinal polyps (fundic gland polyps, duodenal adenomas, and duodenal adenocarcinoma), osteomas, epidermoid cysts, and desmoids.

Benign tumors of the nails include verruca, pyogenic granuloma, fibromas, nevus cell nevi, myxoid cysts, angiofibromas (Koenen tumors), and epidermoid cysts.

Gardner syndrome which was first described in 1951 consists of adenomatous polyps of the gastrointestinal tract, desmoid tumours, osteomas, epidermoid cysts, lipomas, dental abnormalities and periampullary carcinomas.

Because an epidermoid cyst originates in the epidermis and a pilar cyst originates from hair follicles, by definition, neither type of cyst is strictly a sebaceous cyst.

Proliferating epidermoid cysts (also known as "Proliferating epithelial cyst") are a cutaneous condition characterized by tumors that have deep invasion, and associated with anaplasia and a high mitotic rate.

The non-contagious disease manifests as clusters of chronic abscesses, epidermoid cysts, sebaceous cysts, pilonidal cyst or multilocalised infections, which can be as large as baseballs or as small as a pea.

Large numbers of lobules coalescing into a definitely elevated mass may be called benign sebaceous hyperplasia, and occasional small keratin-filled pseudocysts may be seen and must be differentiated from epidermoid cyst or dermoid cyst with sebaceous adnexa.
