“…Of these, six were basal carcinomas and only one was a squamous cell carcinoma (7). LOVE and MONTGOMERY indentified two cases of basal cell carcinomas and two of squamous cell carcinomas in a series of 271 (10). Trabecular (Merckel Cell) carcinoma, arising in the wall of an epidermal cyst, has been described by PERSE et al (5).…”

Epidermal cysts are commonly encountered in surgical practice. Malignant degeneration of epidermal sebaceous cyst is uncommon. The authors report the case of a 38-year Filipino woman presenting with a voluminous sebaceous cyst of the left buttock. Ultrasonography and computer tomography were made preoperatively without any hint of eventual malignant degeneration. Marginal excision was performed with direct closure of the skin. The histological examination revealed epidermal sebaceous cyst with squamous cell carcinoma in situ, which is a quite rare, but well known complication occurring in sebaceous cysts.

“…The question of malignancy in these tumors is vexing, and while accepted by some authors is considered unjustifiable by others (Reed & Lamar 1966, Lund 1957, Dabska 1971. The reported incidence of malignancy in sebaceous cysts, including those of the scalp, varies from 1.5% (Love & Montgomery 1943) to 9.2% (Bishop 1931). Documentation in some of these series has been criticized (Reed & Lamar 1966) and indeed in most instanees this seems justified.…”

“…Some investigators believe that these lesions represent benign tumors (6). Others believe that secondary milia are retention cysts showing proliferative tendencies of the epithelium (5,6). Tsuji et al (7) postulated that they represent benign epithelial proliferation in the early stage (growing phase) and later become retention cysts (retention phase).…”
