    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Anomalies
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Presternal subcutaneous cysts are rare congenital lesions.
    • They often present as a small opening on the sternum with intermittent mucinous discharge.
    • Understanding their histological similarity to intrathoracic counterparts is crucial.

    Observation:

    • A 21-month-old male infant presented with a presternal subcutaneous cyst.
    • The lesion was successfully removed via surgical excision.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination confirmed the cyst's nature.
    • The findings align with known characteristics of presternal congenital cysts.

    Implications:

    • Surgical excision is the recommended treatment for presternal cysts.
  • Early intervention can prevent potential complications such as infection.
  • This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing rare congenital skin findings in infants.
