Extratesticular
epidermal inclusion cyst of the scrotum (ECR 2016 Case of the Day). Coronal T2-weighted image shows right extratesticular mass (arrow), close to the ipsilateral spermatic cord (long arrow), mainly hyperintense, with signal similar to that of normal testes (arrowheads), surrounded by a low signal intensity capsule.

A rare case
of extratesticular scrotal epidermoid cyst. A non-vascular lesion measuring 15x12 mm was noted indenting the lateral aspect of the right epididymal head with a whorled appearance and central calcific focus giving it a "target" or "bulls eye" appearance.

Axial fat-suppressed T2-WI (a), coronal T1-WI (b) and coronal contrast-enhanced T1-WI (c). Unilocular, well-defined subcutaneous lesion (arrows) at the medial aspect of the ankle. The lesion has intermediate SI on T2-WI with some small areas of lower SI (probably due to keratinous debris), and is slightly hyperintense to muscle on T1-WI. A peripheral rim enhancement is seen (arrowhead), without internal enhancement

Proliferating trichilemmal cysts, sometimes known as proliferating trichilemmal tumors, are dermal or subcutaneous tumors with squamoid cytologic features and trichilemmal-type keratinization, which usually arise in the scalp.

Terminology

A variety of names have been used for this pathology, including proliferating epidermoid cyst, pilar tumor of the scalp, proliferating epidermoid cyst, giant hair matrix tumor, hydatidiform keratinous cyst, trichochlamydocarcinoma, and invasive hair matrix tumor .

Epidemiology

Proliferating trichilemmal cysts have female predominance .

Associations

Some cases have a syndromic association:

Clinical presentation

Proliferating trichilemmal cysts present as lobulated masses within the scalp. They vary considerably in size from a few millimeters to large masses many centimeters in diameter. Occasionally clinical presentation will be with superimposed infection or malignant transformation, although both of these complications are uncommon .

Pathology

Although they are mostly benign, there are also local invasive and malignant types . The latter show extensive epithelial proliferation, variable cytologic atypia and mitotic activity.

Radiographic features

CT

Proliferating trichilemmal cysts usually are located within the scalp and appear as multiple complex subcutaneous solid or cystic masses. The cystic components contain high-density proteinaceous material which sometimes layers dependently . Ring-like patterns of mineralization are also encountered .

History and etymology

Proliferating trichilemmal cysts were first described by Edward Wilson Jones, an English dermatopathologist, in 1966 .

Differential diagnosis

In some situations, consider an epidermal inclusion cyst
