Epidermal cysts are common skin lesions. They are usually seen in the chronic sun-exposed areas of the skin. They can get complicated by inflammation, infection, rupture, or malignancy. Epidermal cyst in the perineal region is rare. We report a case of an infected ruptured perineal epidermal cyst mimicking gluteal abscess. The patient was successfully treated by complete surgical excision. Histology revealed epidermal cyst with foreign body giant cell reaction and no evidence of malignancy.
表皮囊肿是常见的皮肤病变。它们通常见于皮肤长期暴露于阳光下的区域。它们可能会因炎症、感染、破裂或恶变而变得复杂。会阴区的表皮囊肿很少见。我们报告一例感染破裂的会阴表皮囊肿,酷似臀肌脓肿。患者通过完全手术切除成功治愈。组织学检查显示为表皮囊肿,伴有异物巨细胞反应,无恶变证据。
