• Pain

  They do not cause any pain and can usually be ignored. Epidermoid cysts are usually caused by a buildup of keratin. Keratin is a protein that occurs naturally in skin cells. [healthline.com]

  The clinical presentation can vary ranging from being incidentally discovered on routine imaging to having nausea, vomiting, vague abdominal pain or rarely painful splenomegaly, particularly when the cysts are large. They are congenital in origin. [radiopaedia.org]

• Asymptomatic

  Small asymptomatic epidermoid cyst can be managed with intralesional triamcinolone injection. Incision and drainage may be performed if a cyst wall is inflamed. [omicsonline.org]

  The third patient was asymptomatic; a splenic cyst with calcification of its wall was accidentally revealed by a plain x-ray of the abdomen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Most of the cases are asymptomatic until of significant size, at which time they are then detected incidentally on ultrasonography or CT scan. [casereports.in]

• Irritability

  Abstract An 18-month-old boy presented with a six-month history of irritation OD. Examination under anesthesia found a 7 mm cyst involving the inferior aspect of the iris OD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Cysts that do not become infected usually cause no symptoms, but they occasionally cause irritation. They are white or yellow and usually less than 1/2 inch (about 1 centimeter) in diameter. [merckmanuals.com]

  The mesothelium undergoes metaplasia to squamous epithelium secondary to chronic irritation. Another postulation is that congenital cysts arise from normal lymph spaces in the spleen [6]. [ispub.com]

  Pseudocyst of auricle Complications of cysts Rupture of a cyst The contents of the cyst may penetrate the capsular wall and irritate the surrounding skin. The area of tender, firm inflammation spreads beyond the encapsulated cyst. [dermnetnz.org]

  Chronic irritation or repetitive trauma to the epithelial lining of the cyst has been suggested to play a role in malignant transformation; however, this relationship has not been established. [44] Epidemiology Race No racial predilection has been identified [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Headache

  Lesions in this region usually present with hearing loss, tinnitus, dysequilibrium, headaches, facial numbness and occasionally trigeminal neuralgia. Our patient presented with the unusual phenomenon of episodic facial palsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  This cyst expansion can lead to headaches, weakness, imbalance, visual loss, double vision or seizures depending upon the cyst location. Some epidermoid cysts can rupture and result in a meningitis-type reaction from inflammation. [pacificneuroscienceinstitute.org]

• Paresis

  A 63-year-old male presented with a rare epithelial cyst in the left cerebellopontine angle manifesting as left facial nerve paresis and left cerebellar signs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment may be required if the cyst becomes red, swollen, painful, changes in size or character, or is infected. In such cases, treatment options include antibiotics and drainage. Sometimes the cyst may need to be surgically removed. [healthline.com]

Treatment [ edit ] Cysts can be removed by excision. [5] In case of fronto-ethmoidal epidermoid cysts, surgical resection appears to be the mainstay of treatment; however, the extent of resection is dictated by adherence of the tumor capsule to the surrounding [en.wikipedia.org]

The current report should not be taken as an argument against cyst removal, which is the established way of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Skin cysts don’t need treatment most of the time. They’re usually painless and nothing to worry about, unless they get sore or infected. But if you have a cyst that bothers you or is embarrassing, you should discuss it with your doctor. [webmd.com]

In practice, both primary and secondary cysts are often described simply as "splenic cyst" for the sake of simplicity, as often the specific etiology is not evident. [radiopaedia.org]

There is no proven etiology, although patients with cysts along the free edge of the fold often are vocally hyperactive. Treatment of cysts, except for those arising on the free edge of the vocal fold, is simple unroofing (marsupialization). [bumc.bu.edu]

Epidermoid cysts are benign lesions; however, very rare cases of various associated malignancies have been reported. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13] Pathophysiology Epidermoid cysts result from the proliferation of epidermal cells within a circumscribed [emedicine.medscape.com]

To prevent spontaneous rupture, laparotomy was performed, and the cyst was pathologically diagnosed as a splenic epithelial cyst. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

To prevent recurrence, the entire cyst and its wall should be removed. Ruptured cysts can be incised and drained but may recur if the wall is not eventually removed. Antibiotics are not needed unless cellulitis is present. [merckmanuals.com]
