Abstract

Epidermal cyst is one of the most common benign soft tissue tumors, and it may be easily identified and treated by surgical excision. We experienced a patient who had multiple masses on the scalp and the masses had been misdiagnosed as hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) because of persistent pain, sinus tract and fistula formation and purulent discharge. Based on physical examination, early total excision was performed. On the histopathologic examination, it was diagnosed as multiple ruptured epidermal cysts. In the case presented here, we would like to introduce an initial misdiagnosis but ultimately accurate treatment with excellent cosmetic result and highly satisfaction of the patient.

Özet

Epidermal kistler en sık rastlanan yumuşak doku tümörlerinden biri olması, kolaylıkla teşhis edilip cerrahi eksizyonla tedavi edilebilmesine rağmen zaman zaman başka lezyonlarla da karışabilmektedirler. Burada, skalpte ağrılı, sinüs yolları ve fistül oluşumuyla karakterize ve pürülan akıntılı multipl kitleleri nedeniyle başvuran ve ilk görünüşte bu lezyonların yanlışlıkla hidradenitis süppürativaya bağlı olabileceği düşünülen bir olgu deneyimimiz sunulmaktadır. Mevcut multipl kitlelerin total eksizyonu gerçekleştirildikten sonra yapılan histopatolojik değerlendirme sonucu multipl epidermal kist olarak rapor edilmiştir. Burada klinikte çok sık rastlamadığımız ancak uyguladığımız başarılı cerrahi tedavi ve sonuçta hasta memnuniyeti ile sonuçlanan olgumuz sunulmaktadır.
