“…Furthermore, epidermal inclusion cyst presenting as a large palpable mass in the male breast is an extremely rare clinical entity. To the best of our knowledge, only seven cases have been reported in the English-language literature (2)(3)(4), and a case of giant epidermal inclusion cyst in the male breast has not been reported in Korean literature. Here, we present the sonographic images, computed tomography (CT), and pathological findings of a giant epidermal inclusion cyst in the breast of a male patient.…”

“…These lesions usually occur in adults between the ages of 30 and 40 (Mote & Shukla, 2011). Epidermal inclusion cysts may occur as a result of trauma, surgery or congenital implantation of epidermis into the dermis (Makhija, 2014).…”

“…Epidermal inclusion cysts may occur as a result of trauma, surgery or congenital implantation of epidermis into the dermis (Makhija, 2014). Clinically, epidermal inclusion cysts present as smooth, round, slow growing, asymptomatic, well defined swellings (Mote & Shukla, 2011). These cysts do not cause pain unless they become inflamed (Horoz, Eryılmaz, Özakpınar & Tellioğlu, 2012).…”

Epidermal inclusion cysts are common benign cutaneous cysts which arise from hair follicles. These cysts usually present as asymptomatic, small, smooth, firm, round, slow growing swellings on hair bearing areas such as scalp, face, neck and trunk. Epidermal inclusion cysts are easily diagnosed by their clinical features. However, trichilemmal cyst, dermoid cyst, neurofibroma, hemangioma, lipoma and liposarcoma should also be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of cutaneous cystic lesions. As malignant transformation of epidermal inclusion cysts has been reported, histopathological evaluation of epidermal inclusion cysts is mandatory in order to rule out malignancy. Moreover, giant epidermal inclusion cysts with ulceration, rapid growth, resistance to treatment, recurrence and fistula drainage may have malignant potential. Therefore, epidermal cysts should be surgically removed. There are several different types of surgical techniques to remove cutaneous cysts. A proper surgical technique should facilitate the complete removal of the cyst wall to prevent recurrence. In addition, it should provide minimal scarring and a low wound infection rate. Epidermal inclusion cysts can be easily removed surgically with squeeze technique. In this technique, the cyst is squeezed out through a small incision using both index fingers. Thus, the cyst is not ruptured. The squeeze technique allows the cyst capsule to remain intact. Therefore, the risk of wound infection, recurrence and scar formation is minimized. Hereby, we present a 48-year-old male with multiple epidermal inclusion cysts on the scalp treated surgically with squeeze technique.

“…[1] It is also called as keratinous cyst or epidermoid cyst. [4] Such cysts most commonly occur on the scalp and in the skin of the neck and back, whereas occurrence of these cysts in breast skin and parenchyma is very rare. [1] Only fewer than 40 cases of epidermal inclusion cysts of the breast have been reported in the English-language literature.…”
