Cutaneous ciliated cyst: a case report and histochemical, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural study.
A 19-year-old woman with a cutaneous ciliated cyst on her buttock is reported. Histological, histochemical, and electron microscopic studies revealed ciliated cells, mucinous cells showing merocrine secretion, and areas of squamous metaplasia in the cyst wall. This is the first case of cutaneous ciliated cyst that contained non-ciliated mucinous cells as a component.
