The Great Mimicker: Unique Presentation of Epidermal Inclusion Cyst on The Breast

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Epidermal inclusion cysts (EIC) are common cutaneous cysts that can occur nearly anywhere in the body with common locations being the face, scalp, neck, back, and scrotum. Only a few cases of EIC to the breast have been reported in literature to date, with most occurring after trauma to the breast. Here we present the case of a 35-year-old woman that presented with a nontraumatic nipple lesion that was later biopsy proven to be an EIC. Although not a primary consideration, EIC should be on the differential for skin lesions of the nipple.
