| Epidermal inclusion cysts, the most common type of simple epithelial cyst, are typically well-encapsulated,
subepidermal and mobile nodules. They may occur anywhere, but are mostly found on the scalp, face, neck, trunk,
and back. Less than 10% of epidermal inclusion cysts occur on the extremities, and even fewer are found on the
palms, soles, and breasts. If epidermal inclusion cysts rupture, foreign body reaction, granulomatous reaction or abscess
formation could follow. We described here the sonographic findings of ruptured epidermal inclusion cyst of
the right axilla in a 33-year-old woman who presented with a palpable axillary mass forming an inflammatory abscess. |
