title: Epidermoid inclusion cysts After APTOS thread insertion: case report with clinicopathologic correlates.
abstract: The APTOS threading procedure is a relatively new method in antifacial ptosis surgery. The reported cases present a small percentage of minor complications. A 57-year-old woman experienced scarring after APTOS threading. Scar biopsy showed an epidermoid inclusion cyst. Epidermoid inclusion cysts are a potential complication of APTOS threading. Proper surgical technique may reduce their likelihood.
