Giant gluteal epidermal cyst removal (atheroma removal).

Massive epidermal cyst of the gluteal region in an 85-year-old female patient.For many years, she did not seek the help of a surgeon, referring to the fact that the tumor, although it increased in size, did not bother her. And only when pain and inflammation appeared, she was forced to turn to a surgeon.The epidermal cyst was removed along with the capsule (its inner membranes were excised).

Background information.
An epidermoid cyst is a non-cancerous growth commonly found on the skin of the face or neck, but can occur anywhere on the body. Just as its name suggests, these cysts occur as a result of epidermal cells, cells from the top layer of your skin a.k.a the epidermis, overgrow in a confined space. The buildup of these cells under the skin results in a “cheesy” consistency and often a pungent odor. Epidermoid cysts are typically harmless and have no symptoms, but people often seek removal due to the appearance of the bump or because the cyst has become inflamed or ruptured. If you have a ruptured cyst you may notice, sudden redness, pain, swelling, and heat around the area, all of which can lead to an abscess forming. Surgically removing the cyst can cure the area, but the entire cyst sac and all of its contents need to be removed to ensure the cyst won’t grow back.
