“…Post-traumatic cysts are found under the epithelium of the skin, immediately below the site of the scar. Clinically, their presence is characterized by a slow, painless growth, with firm and well circumscribed edema, which is palpable below the normal surface of epithelium (3,20). In the clinical history of the present case, it is not known for sure if any trauma occurred before the appearance of the lesion.…”
