Summary

An epidermoid cyst was found 11 years after knee arthroscopy, developing under the scar from the outflow cannula. This is the first reported case of an epidermoid cyst following arthroscopic surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Epidermoid cysts are typically associated with trauma or epithelial implantation.
  • Previous literature has not documented epidermoid cysts arising post-arthroscopic procedures.

Observation:

  • A benign tumor was identified 11 years post-arthroscopic knee surgery.
  • The tumor was located beneath the scar from the outflow cannula placement.

Findings:

  • Histomorphological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst.
  • This represents the first reported instance of an epidermoid cyst following arthroscopic surgery.

Implications:

  • Highlights a rare potential complication of arthroscopic procedures.
  • Suggests the need for awareness of delayed cyst formation at cannula sites.
