“…The main causes of epidermal cysts are trauma, surgical operations and chronic irritation. [8][9][10][11] Skolnik et al have reported multiple epidermal inclusion cysts on the plantar surface of the foot in patients after radiofrequency microtenotomy for plantar fasciitis. 11 Guler et al reported a pediatric patient who developed penile epidermoid cysts after distal hypospadias surgery.…”

Background: Epidermal cysts are common benign epithelial tumors. They are known to result from penetrating-type injuries or infection of human papillomavirus. The differential diagnosis commonly includes multiplex steatocystoma, lipoma, and neurofibroma. Pathological examination is essential for diagnosis, and surgical excision is the recommended treatment. Objective: We report a case in a man who presented with a cystic lesion on the scalp over 22 years to provide clinical evidence for mechanism of epidermal cysts. We conducted epidemiological analysis of 3949 patients with epidermal cysts to clarify the epidemiological characteristics and clinical features of epidermal cysts. Patients and Methods: A total of 3949 individuals with confirmed epidermal cysts were collected for analysis. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM and analyzed using Student's t-test. Results: Our data showed that the mean age of diagnosis of males was statistically earlier than that of females (P<0.001), but no significant difference in sex predilection was observed (P=0.55). The high incidence age of males and females was in the young and middle stage. Lesion locations were a bit different among age groups, but the face was the most common site of epidermal cyst at all age stages. Conclusion: Our case offers clinical evidence to the theory which refers trauma as one of the main causes of epidermal cysts in hairbearing area. According to analysis of large number of samples, we can further support the idea that epidermal cyst has equal sex predilection and mainly occurs on the young and middle-aged adults. It is usually solitary and most likely to be found on face and trunk.

“…Epidermal cysts most commonly occur in hair-bearing areas, such as the scalp, face, neck, trunk, and scrotum, where many pilosebaceous glands are present [ 1 2 ]. Epidermal cysts do not commonly develop in the palmoplantar skin due to the absence of pilosebaceous glands.…”
