Dermatociliary cyst

Introduction to skin ciliary cyst Skin cutaneous ciliated cysts (cutaneousciliated cysts) are rare. Kurban and Bhawan suggested that the cyst originated from the Mullerian tube. Other scholars also occurred in men according to these lesions. It is suggested that the cyst originated from a small sweat gland that is succulent, and the cyst is usually single. Sex. The diameter is often a few centimeters, full of translucent or amber liquid, occurring in the buttocks and lower extremities of adolescent women. Individual cases are also found on the shoulders and head, and only 2 cases occur in men. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.005% Susceptible people: young women Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: sepsis

Cause of skin ciliary cyst

(1) Causes of the disease

Originated from the Mullerian tube, some scholars believe that this cyst originated from a small sweat gland that is succulent.

(two) pathogenesis

The pathogenesis is still unclear.

Skin ciliary cyst prevention

The etiology of this disease is not clear, and may have certain correlation with environmental factors, genetic factors, dietary factors, and mood and nutrition during pregnancy. Therefore, it is impossible to directly prevent the disease against the cause. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are important for indirect prevention of this disease, and can also reduce the incidence of infection complications. For patients with existing infections, antibiotics should be used as soon as possible.

Skin ciliary cyst complications Complications sepsis

In patients with this disease, the integrity of the skin mucosa may be destroyed due to skin mucosal rupture, so skin bacterial infection or fungal infection may be induced by scratching, usually secondary to low constitution, long-term use of immunosuppressants, and presence of nail fungus. Patients with fungal infections, such as concurrent bacterial infections, may have symptoms such as fever, swelling of the skin, ulceration, and purulent secretion. Severe cases can lead to sepsis, which should be brought to the attention of clinicians.

Symptoms of cutaneous ciliary cysts Common symptoms Cysts

Cysts are usually single-shot, often several centimeters in diameter, filled with translucent or amber fluids, occurring in the buttocks and lower extremities of adolescent women. Individual cases are also found on the shoulders and head, and only 2 cases occur in men.

Examination of skin ciliated cyst

Histopathology: The cyst is located in the deep or subcutaneous tissue of the dermis and is single-leaf or multi-lobed. The common feature is the appearance of papillary processes in the cystic cavity. The cyst is lined with a single layer of cubic to columnar ciliated epithelium, and some parts are lined with pseudostratified epithelium. Visible squamous metaplasia, no skin attachments around the cyst, glandular structures or muscle fibers.

Diagnosis and differentiation of skin ciliary cyst

According to clinical manifestations and lesion characteristics, histopathology can be diagnosed.
