“…Karabulut et al in a study of keratinous cysts stated that the most common type located on the scalp was TC and reported there were more women in this group (Karabulut, 2014). The same studies observed TC at 62.8% rates in females and EC at72% rates in males (Karabulut, 2014). In this study, 41% of EC were located on the head and neck, with 59% located in other areas of the body.…”

“…This situation may be explained by the low number of cases in the study and assessing other cutaneous cysts in addition to keratinous cysts. When keratinous cysts are assessed in terms of mean age, it was 42.3 years in the study by Karabulut et al,29.14 years in the study by Khateeb et al and 44.1 years in the sutdy by Golden et al (Golden, 2005;Al-Khateeb, 2009;Karabulut, 2014).In this study, the mean age for EC cases was 45.22 years and for TC cases was 47 years. This situation is not similar to the literature but may be due to the low number of cases and the region of the study.…”

Objective: The skin is the largest organ of our body and may develop different benign skin lesions in different periods of life. Benign skin lesions generally cause cosmetic discomfort and morbidity is not high. However, as part of some syndromes they may be precursors of paraneoplastic or metabolic diseases. In this study benign skin lesions frequently sent to Ordu University Faculty of Medicine Pathology Department were analyzed and discussed accompanied by the literature. Material and Methods: The study included 127 benign skin lesion cases with diagnosis at the pathology laboratory in our center in 2015 and 2016. Preparations were retrospectively reassessed and current diagnoses recorded. The age, gender and lesion localization of patients included in the study were recorded. Results: Of cases, 34 had epidermal cyst, 33 had fibroepithelial polyp, 10 had squamous papilloma, 23 had seborrheic keratosis, 18 had trichilemmal cyst and 9 had verruca vulgaris. Of all cases 55.2% were male and 44.8% were female. There were 69 cases (54%) with head and neck localization, and 58 cases (46%) with localization other than the head and neck. Head and neck localization was present for 41% of epidermal cysts, 88% of trichilemmal cysts, all squamous papilloma, 21% of fibroepithelial polyps, 65% of seborrheic keratosis and 77% of verruca vulgaris. Conclusion: There were higher male patient rates among cases included in the study. According to frequency, locations included the head-neck, trunk, genital region and extremities. Disease was identified in all age ranges. The study concluded that for diagnostic methods to be effective and accurate for benign skin lesions, it is necessary to use pathologic methods.

“…Subcutaneous epidermal cysts are commonly related to the scalp, face, neck, trunk and back: fewer than 10 % seen in the extremities which especially occur as a result of epidermal structures entering into the dermis and usually settle on the fingers, palms, and the soles of the extremities [2,3]. Cysts on the acral surfaces of the skin are considered to arise from the implantation of epidermis into the dermis through trauma.…”

“…They are formed as a result of invagination of keratinized squamous epithelium [1]. Subcutaneous epidermal cysts are commonly related to the scalp, face, neck, trunk and back: fewer than 10% seen in the extremities which especially occur as a result of epidermal structures entering into the dermis and usually settle on the fingers, palms, and the soles of the extremities [2,3]. A conventional epidermal cyst is usually small, solitary and an epidermal cyst with a diameter of 5 cm or rarely more [4].…”

Subcutaneous epidermal cysts are commonly related to the scalp, face, neck, trunk and back. Fewer than 10% is seen in the extremities at any age and more common in men. Epidermoid cysts are benign, 3-20 mm in diameter and usually asymptomatic until they become infected or have become enlarged enough to cause damage to adjacent anatomic structures. The histopathological examination is the gold standard of diagnosis for epidermoid cyst, and surgery of complete excision is the first choice of treatment methods. The present case report is a 36 years old male with a giant epidermal cyst in the upper arm which grew to an extremely large size for >20 years without inflammation or rupture. The patient presented with discomfort and insomnia due to compression from the extremely large tumor. The patient underwent excision of the cyst. At the follow-up examination 2 years postoperatively, there was no local recurrence and discomforting symptoms.
