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


==Cysts==
=Overview=
Common types:<ref>TN07 D5</ref>
Common types:<ref name=Ref_TN2007_D5>{{Ref TN2007| D5}}</ref>
*Epidermal cyst (sebaceous cyst) -- most common.
*[[Epidermal cyst]] (sebaceous cyst) -- most common.
*Pilar (tricheilemmal) cyst.
*[[pilar cyst|Pilar (trichilemmal) cyst]].
*Dermoid cyst.
*[[Dermoid cyst]].
*Ganglion cyst.
*[[Ganglion cyst]].
*Milicem.
*Milicem.


==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 (EM)===
===Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN)===
Rx causes of SJS:
*NSAIDs,
*anticonvulsants,
*sulfonamides,
*penicillins.  
 
TEN more severe form SJS.
 
Definition:
*>30% sheet-like epidermal detachment, diffuse erythema, severe mucous membrane involvement
*most TEN (80%) Rx-related, only 50% of SJS Rx-related

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


Histo.<ref>[http://www.dermatologyoutlines.com/dermskintumornonmelanocytic.html#collagenousfibroma]</ref><ref>[Sternberg P.161]</ref>
DDx:
*acellular stroma with abundant collagen.

SKIN CYST, RIGHT LATERAL ORBIT, EXCISION:
- DERMOID CYST
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

==Familial benign pemphigus==
==Pilonidal cyst==
*AKA ''Hailey-Hailey disease''. Was described by two brothers - that's why it is ''Hailey-Hailey''.<ref name=emed_hailey>[http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1063224-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1063224-overview]</ref>

===Etiology===
=Less common=
*Autosomal dominant with incomplete penetration.<ref name=emed_hailey/>
==Steatocystoma==
*Desmosomal defect - due to mutation in the gene ''ATP2C1''.<ref name=emed_hailey/>

*Typically presents individual in their 30s and 40s.<ref name=emed_hailey/>
===General===
*Dome-shaped [[papule]].


===Histology===
===Microscopic===
*Hair folicles spared.
Features:<ref name=dermpedia>URL: [http://www.dermpedia.org/dermpedia-textbook/digital-mucous-myxoid-cyst http://www.dermpedia.org/dermpedia-textbook/digital-mucous-myxoid-cyst]. Accessed on: 17 January 2012.</ref>
*Epidermis thickened.
*Mucous in superficial dermis - '''key feature'''.
*No epithelial lining; it is a pseudocyst.


===DDx===
Note:
*May resemble pemphigus vulgaris.
*Mucin = glycolated proteins; may be part of mucous.
*Mucous = slippery secretion.
**Some split hairs over the "u" - "mucus" vs. "mucous".<ref>URL: [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mucous http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mucous].

==Dermatofibroma==
DDx:
===General===
*[[Focal cutaneous mucinosis]].
*AKA fibrous histiocytoma.
*[[Ganglion cyst]].
*Reactive process -- it is ''not'' a neoplasm.
*Usually assoc. with previous trauma.
**in women... usually legs.
