title: Acrosyndactyly with epidermoid inclusion cysts: evidence for the extrinsic theory.
abstract: A case of acrosyndactyly was treated with routine syndactyly release and full-thickness skin grafts. Two epidermoid inclusion cysts were found within the syndactylyzed index and middle fingers. This association is discussed along with the mechanism that best explains this unusual occurrence.
