This case highlights the importance of thorough clinical examinations from head to toe and the early diagnosis of trichilemmal cysts. We present a case of an incidentally discovered trichilemmal cyst in a 72-year-old patient who presented with acute kidney injury secondary to a urinary tract infection. In rare instances, these cysts can transform into malignant lesions. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of the potential for malignancy when diagnosing and managing trichilemmal cysts.
该病例突出了从头到脚进行全面临床检查以及早期诊断毛发囊肿的重要性。我们报告一例72岁患者偶然发现的毛发囊肿,该患者因尿路感染继发急性肾损伤。在罕见情况下,这些囊肿可转变为恶性病变。因此,临床医生在诊断和处理毛发囊肿时应意识到其恶变的可能性。
