Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Verrucous cysts are rare epidermoid cysts with distinctive verrucous wall changes. Histopathology reveals viral changes, suggesting a link to human papillomavirus infection.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Virology

Background:

  • Verrucous cysts are uncommon epidermoid cysts.
  • They are histopathologically distinct due to verrucous wall changes.

Observation:

  • Two cases of verrucous cysts are presented.
  • Lesions were located on the back and cheek.
  • Clinical diagnoses included epidermoid cyst and basal cell carcinoma.

Findings:

  • Histological examination revealed intradermal epidermoid cysts.
  • Stratified squamous epithelium showed focal cytopathogenic viral changes.
  • Features included papillomatosis, parakeratosis, hypergranulosis, and squamous eddies.

Implications:

  • The findings support verrucous cysts as a manifestation of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
  • HPV may induce cyst formation or infect pre-existing cysts.
  • This highlights the importance of considering viral etiology in specific cystic lesions.
