Abstract
RATIONALE
Epidermoid cyst (EC) is a common clinical condition and it can be filled with keratinized material. EC often represents painless, slow progressive growth, and single cyst. The cyst is usually 1 to 5 cm in size. Giant epidermoid cysts on the buttock area are extremely rare, and reports of giant epidermoid double cysts on the buttock are even rarer.
PATIENT CONCERNS
This paper reports a patient with a painless mass was on the left buttock.
DIAGNOSIS
A giant epidermoid double cysts with infection in a left buttock paranal location.
INTERVENTIONS
The mass was surgically removed.
OUTCOMES
The patient recovered well after surgical treatment and currently has no recurrence.
CONCLUSION
For patients with EC, MRI is recommended as a routine examination before surgery in order to detect the variation and extent of the cyst early. This lays a foundation for the complete resection of the lesion during the operation. The review of relevant literature will hopefully be helpful to clinicians.
