“…Therefore, the pathogenesis of the peristernal dermal sinuses seems to be different from that of the periauricular sinuses, which represent incomplete union of the hillocks. 6 We found an article on a sinus in the midline of the anterior thoracic wall associated with a sternal cleft. 7 However, it is thought to be different from our cases, in which there was no association with any sternal cleft.…”

sustained during follow-up in a group of seven patients followed for 10 weeks and a group of four patients followed for 1 year. 4,9 Our results confirm these latter findings by showing that consecutive courses of infliximab for treatment of HS provide initial improvement with variable results but show decreased efficacy over long-term treatment.

“…4 Cutaneous keratocyst is named after the odontogenic keratocyst of the jaw because of the similarity of the lining with the undulated keratinous layer. The frequencies are not known; however, the paucity is because of lack of symptoms and lack of recognition of the different types rather than actual rarity.…”

“…They are lined by stratified squamous epithelium showing epidermal keratinisation in a flattened surface epithelium. As such, they are thought to be derived from, or mimic to, the infundibular portion of the hair follicle [1]. Malignant transformation of these cysts are known to occur, although only rarely and includes basal and squamous cell carcinoma [2][3][4], Paget's disease [2], Bowen's disease [5], mycosis fungoides [6,7], Merkel cell carcinoma [8] and malignant melanoma [9].…”

Although cutaneous epidermal cysts are very common, malignant transformation is a rare event. Even more rare is a change into squamous cell carcinoma. Such a case is presented in this report. The clinical and histological characteristics together with the differential diagnosis and the pathogenesis of this unexpected development are discussed. We recommend that all lesions presumed to be epidermal cysts should be completely excised and submitted for histological examination.
