Epidermal inclusion cyst of the heel
1American Board of Podiatric Surgery, Chicago, IL 60602.
Abstract:
An inclusion cyst develops from the introduction of epidermal fragments into a heterotopic location, where it grows through accumulation of epithelial and keratinous debris. This is caused by a combination of increased physical activity and the imposition on the site. Inclusion cysts are seen most frequently in younger and more active patients, rather than in older individuals. This case is unique because the epidermal inclusion cyst occurred on the plantar aspect of the foot of an elderly, sedentary patient who had not sustained any injury to the area.

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells
Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
