'''Dermal cysts''' are common in [[dermatopathology]].  Dermatopathologists can diagnose 'em.
'''Dermal cysts''', also '''skin cysts''', are common in [[dermatopathology]].  Dermatopathologists can diagnose 'em.

==EM, SJS, TEN==
==Epidermal necrosis==
*SJS and TEN are on a spectrum, EM is considered separate.
*This may be cystic.  It is covered in the ''[[epidermal necrosis]]'' article, which covers [[erythema multiforme]], [[Steven-Johnson syndrome]] and [[toxic epidermal necrolysis]].


===Erythema multiforme===
=Common cysts=
*Abbreviated ''EM''.

*Hypersensitivity disorder to a drug or infections.
**Assoc. with the following: HSV, Mycoplasma, Histoplasma, others.

*+/-Epidermal sloughing.


===Stevens-Johnson Syndrome===  
==Dermoid cyst==
*Abbreviated SJS.

*Anticonvulsants.  
*Cyst lined by normal (keratinized) skin with adnexal structure (hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands).
*Sulfonamides.  
*Penicillins.  


===Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis===
DDx:
*Abbreviated TEN.
*[[Epidermal cyst]] - no adnexal structures.


TEN more severe form SJS.
