title: Cutaneous ciliated cyst of the scalp. A case report with immunohistochemical evidence for estrogen and progesterone receptors.
abstract: The cutaneous ciliated cyst (CCC) is an unusual lesion found in young women that typically occurs on the lower extremities. This report describes a case of CCC arising in the scalp, a previously undescribed anatomic location for this lesion. In addition, positive nuclear staining for estrogen and progesterone receptors is demonstrated by immunohistochemical methods. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.
