Cutaneous Ciliated Cyst of Mullerian Origin on the Thigh in a Young Female

Abstract

Cutaneous ciliated cysts (CCCs) are rare, benign cysts which are also referred to as Mullerian cysts. The histological hallmark is the morphological resemblance of the lining epithelium of the cyst wall to that of the fallopian tube. These cysts clinically mimic other entities and histopathology is necessary for diagnosis. An unusual case of CCC in a young female with its differential diagnosis is discussed.
