Abstract
Patients (11) with a cutaneous cyst lined by a simple columnar ciliated epithelium were studied. All of the patients were women in the 2nd or 3rd decade of life. Each had only a single lesion, located on the lower extremity. Clinical examination showed a cyst without specific identifying characteristics. The cyst is considered benign, because of the high degree of differentiation and lack of cellular atypia. The origin of the cyst is unknown. The theory of sequestration and migration is favored over that of transplantation or metaplasia.
