Cysts are mostly beningn swellings over the skin surfaces in mid line and other various sites. Sizes differ from simple acne, sebaceous cysts, dermoid cyst and embryogenic cysts. Cysts are usually painless for longer years and can be presented visualized prominently and distorting out look of the individuals and always containing some thick or semi liquid material.
A 60 years old female admitted with mild history of pain and irritation over the skin. Two year old beningn cyst situated over midline sacro coccygeal region. Clinically skin is mobile over the swelling except a small nodule 1.1 mm size over the central part. Patient was subjected to routine investigations and specific investigations like Fine Need Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) procedure done from the periphery of the cyst and report revealed as epitheloid cyst. After initial aspiration, some non haemorrhagic pultaceous material was observed in the cyst. Confirmation of diagnosis was made by post operative specimen biopsy report as epidermoid cyst with invasive squamous cell carcinoma.
