Abstract
Cysts are common cutaneous lesions that typically present as discrete dermal or subcutaneous papules or nodules. Classification is based primarily on the histologic features of the cyst lining, and depending on the type of cyst, there are often characteristic anatomic locations. Cysts with a stratified squamous epithelial lining include epidermoid (infundibular) cysts, pilar (tricholemmal) cysts, steatocystomas, and dermoid cysts. Cysts with a non-stratified squamous epithelial lining include hidrocystomas, ciliated cysts, median raphe cysts, bronchogenic cysts, thyroglossal duct cysts, and branchial cleft cysts. Cystic lesions without an epithelial lining include mucoceles, digital mucous cysts and metaplastic synovial cysts, and they are better classified as “pseudocysts”. The clinical and histologic features of cutaneous cysts are discussed in this chapter.
