A 56-year-old man presented with a painless cyst on the top of his head which has been increasing in size in the last 6 months. Due to his learning disability, he could not be dissuaded from his belief that the lump was a sign of brain prolapse which led to increasing agitation in the next 2 weeks. A provisional diagnosis of benign lipoma was made and prompt excision was performed in his best interests. The lesion was more cystic and fluctuant than that of a lipoma and hence it was sent for histological diagnosis. The report came back as a trichilemmal cyst with no signs of proliferation. Cosmetic outcome was reasonable at follow-up after 3 months. The patient was scheduled for regular review every 6 months.
一名56岁男性,头顶出现无痛性囊肿,在过去6个月里囊肿不断增大。由于他有学习障碍,无法劝服他相信这个肿块不是脑疝的迹象,这导致在接下来的两周里他越来越烦躁不安。初步诊断为良性脂肪瘤,并为了他的最大利益进行了及时切除。该病变比脂肪瘤更呈囊性且有波动感,因此送去做组织学诊断。报告显示为毛鞘囊肿,无增殖迹象。3个月后的随访显示美容效果尚可。患者被安排每6个月定期复查。
