  • Title: [Squamous cell carcinoma arising on an epidermal inclusion cyst: a case presentation and review of the literature].
    Author: Antón-Badiola I, San Miguel-Fraile P, Peteiro-Cancelo A, Ortiz-Rey JA.
    Journal: Actas Dermosifiliogr; 2010 May; 101(4):349-53. PubMed ID: 20487691.
    Abstract:
    Epidermal inclusion cysts are very common lesions that very rarely undergo malignant transformation-in the English-language literature we have only found 18 adequately documented cases. We present the case of a man with a 2-month history of a retroauricular skin lesion in which histological study revealed squamous cell carcinoma arising on an epidermal inclusion cyst. Cysts that grow rapidly, reach a large size, ulcerate, develop a fistula, or that do not respond to medical treatment, and those that recur should be excised completely and histological study performed of the whole lesion.
