    Author: Plewig G.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1976 Jul; 27(7):340-3. PubMed ID: 955895.
    Abstract:
    The clinical and histopathological picture of the pigmented epidermal cyst and the pigmented trichilemmcyst is illustrated by three case-reports. The pigment is melanin, which is located in the epithelium of the cyst-wall, the corneocytes of the lumen and in macrophages in the dermis. The clinical appearance of melanin pigmented cysts is blue due to the Tyndall-phenomenon.
