Only little is known about the involvement of the epithelium of epidermoid cysts in dermatoses with keratinocytic changes because these cysts are excised only rarely. Histological findings on an epidermoid cyst, excised from a patient with wide-spread lichen planus are reported. These changes exactly agree with the epidermal histological features of lichen planus and cannot be interpreted as a foreign body reaction.

“…Many types of cysts arise from the skin epithelium, the most common are epidermal cysts (80%) and pilar cysts (1 5%). Although "sebaceous cyst" is often used to describe all skin cysts, this term should be limited to the uncommon retention cysts that arise from sebaceous glands [3,4]. tery in consistency; the thicker contents of an epidermal cyst are white, flaky, and waxy.…”
