ABSTRACT
Benign epithelial skin cysts containing multiple components of the folliculo-sebaceous apocrine unit are only rarely reported in the literature. Here, we describe a 12-year-old girl who presented with a cystic mass on the vertex of her scalp. Upon resection, it showed a hybrid benign skin cyst with interesting histological features of both pilar and apocrine differentiation. The clinicopathological and imaging findings of this unusual skin cyst, successfully managed by a plastic surgeon and neurosurgeon, are described. Pathologists and clinicians should be aware of this type of skin cyst rarely encountered in their clinical practice.
