Multiple Cysts Localized to the Vulva: A Case Report
Journal Title: Dermatology – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Epidermal, or inclusion cysts, are the commonest type of epithelial cysts of the skin. These are keratin-containing cysts lined with stratified squamous epithelium. Multiple vulvar cysts are rarely reported. A 61-year-old woman presented to the dermatology outpatient clinic for lesions on the vulva of about 25-years duration. On physical examination the patient exhibited multiple yellow cystic papules and nodules measuring less than 1 cm each on the labia majora (Figure 1). Histopathological examination revealed a keratinous cyst lined by stratified squamous lining consistent with epidermal cysts. The patient was referred to surgeon for excision.
