RATIONALE Surgical removal of a sebaceous cyst is usually accomplished through an external incision, which inevitably results in a scar. Herein, we described an intraoral approach for excising sebaceous cysts located in the lip or cheek near lip commissure, to avoid a skin scar. PATIENT CONCERNS Removal of the cyst but without leaving a scar on the face. DIAGNOSES Six patients were diagnose...

DERMOID cysts are most commonly found at the upper and outer angle of the orbit (Wolff, 1951). They are smooth, round or hour-glass shaped, and vary in size from a pea to a large orange. They may be differentiated from a cephalocele by their tenseness and incompressibility and the absence of cerebral symptoms (Duke-Elder, 1964). They contain secretions of the sweat and sebaceous glands and cast...

The prevalence of vaginal cysts is uncertain since many go unreported but it estimated that 1 out 200 women have a cyst. We report case 23-year-old female with secondary infertility an incidental asymptomatic cyst, which was originally misdiagnosed as endometriotic performed the surgical treatment negative hysterolaparoscopic findings, only to identify paravaginal sebaceous cyst on exploration....

Cystic sebaceous neoplasms have been seen only in patients with Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) and have recently been characterized as marker lesions of MTS. Histologically, these lesions form a spectrum of tumors ranging from benign cystic adenomas to proliferative cystic sebaceous tumors. We describe 2 proliferative cystic sebaceous tumors in a 53-year-old man whose workup revealed colonic adenoca...

A presternal swelling diagnosed clinically as a sebaceous cyst in a 60-year-old diabetic patient was surgically drained, and the aspirated purulant material yielded growth of Brucella melitensis. The swelling recurred four times and was drained on every occasion. The patient responded to surgical excision and antibrucella treatment. The histologic diagnosis was an epidermal cyst.
