Epidermal cyst mimicking incision line metastasis

Özet

Epidermal cysts are cystic tumors lined with keratinized squamous layer and filled with keratin debris. Epidermalcysts may develop by implantation of surface epidermal layer into the dermis or subcutaneous tissue after traumaor surgical procedures. Cervix cancer spreads either directly or via the vascular and lymphatic systems. Distant skinmetastasis of endometrium or cervix cancer is very rare. In this case report, a patient who had a history of cervixcancer operation 11 years ago and presented with a mass that mimicked incision line metastasis and was histopathologically diagnosed with epidermal cyst is presented.
