Proliferating trichilemmal cyst: an ultrastructural study.

H Miyairi, S Takahashi, M Morohashi

    Journal of Cutaneous Pathology
    |August 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details a rare occipital cystic tumor in a 73-year-old woman. Histological analysis revealed specific cellular features, suggesting a follicular origin for the benign growth.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Cystic epithelial tumors can present in various locations.
    • Understanding the histological origin is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A walnut-sized, long-standing tumor was identified in the occipital region.
    • The tumor comprised multiple cystic epithelial masses with a distinct cyst wall.

    Findings:

    • The cyst wall showed trichilemmal keratinization, squamous eddies, and glycogen-rich cells.
    • Presence of keratohyalin granules, desmosomes, and lipid droplets in the horny layer.
    • Intranuclear inclusions and follicular isthmus/infundibulum-like features were noted.

    Implications:

    • The histological findings suggest a potential origin from the hair follicle.
    • This case contributes to the understanding of rare cystic neoplasms.
    • Further research may clarify the pathogenesis and classification of such tumors.
