Summary

This study details a rare case of a perineal epidermal cyst, a benign tumor found on the perineal median raphe. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting its keratinous content and squamous epithelial lining.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Epidermal cysts are common benign tumors, but perineal location is rare.
  • The perineal median raphe is an uncommon site for cyst development.

Observation:

  • Diagnostic imaging (ultrasonography, CT, MRI) characterized the lesion as a cystic mass.
  • The mass was located on the perineal median raphe.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision was performed for definitive diagnosis.
  • Microscopic examination revealed a cyst filled with laminated keratin.
  • The cyst lining consisted of differentiated cornified squamous epithelium.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known anatomical distribution of epidermal cysts.
  • Accurate imaging and histological analysis are crucial for diagnosing perineal epidermal cysts.
  • Benign perineal epidermal cysts require surgical removal for confirmation and symptomatic relief.
