Recently inflamed cyst on the back, excised

This patient has a small, recently inflamed cyst, that we excised per her request today. It bothers her, and she always asks her husband to squeeze it. The reason I believe it was recently inflamed is because the internal contents are liquefied, and there is no presence of an intact epidermoid sac. Therefore, I just […]

Excision of a pilomatricoma behind the knee

This patient has a pilomatricoma, aka a calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe, which is commonly a solitary but mobile growth under the skin which is most often confused to be an epidermoid cyst. These are benign growths, not painful or uncomfortable. I was suspicious it was a pilomatricoma when I removed it because of it’s firmness, […]
