Relative incidence of cutaneous cysts, where epidermoid cysts constitute a plurality (blue area). An epidermoid cyst or epidermal inclusion cyst [1] is a benign cyst usually found on the skin. The cyst develops out of ectodermal tissue. Histologically, it is made of a thin layer of squamous epithelium.
A sebaceous cyst is a term commonly used to refer to either: [1] Epidermoid cysts (also termed epidermal cysts, infundibular cyst) Pilar cysts (also termed trichelemmal cysts, isthmus-catagen cysts) Both of the above types of cysts contain keratin, not sebum, and neither originates from sebaceous glands.
Proliferating epidermoid cysts are a cutaneous condition characterized by tumors that have deep invasion, and are associated with anaplasia and a high mitotic rate ...

Vocal fold cysts (also known as vocal cord cysts) are benign masses of the membranous vocal folds. [1] These cysts are enclosed, sac-like structures that are typically of a yellow or white colour. [2] They occur unilaterally on the midpoint of the medial edge of the vocal folds. [1] They can also form on the upper/superior, surface of the vocal ...
Clinically, pilomatricomas present as a subcutaneous nodule or cyst with unremarkable overlying epidermis that can range in size from 0.5 to 3.0 cm, but the largest reported case was 24 cm. [4] Presentation

A cyst / s ɪ s t / is a closed sac, having a distinct envelope and division compared with the nearby tissue.Hence, it is a cluster of cells that have grouped together to form a sac (like the manner in which water molecules group together to form a bubble); however, the distinguishing aspect of a cyst is that the cells forming the "shell" of such a sac are distinctly abnormal (in both ...
