Abstract
A 24-year-old woman had been complaining of slowly growing mass on the right buttock for approximately 3 months. On examination, there was an asymptomatic glaucous colored nodule of 1.5cm in diameter. The lesion was excised under local anesthesia and disrupted during surgical removal. With exclusion, clear to amber fluid discharged from the lesion. Histological findings revealed a dilated cyst lined by a single cuboidal to columnar ciliated epithelium. Cutaneous ciliated cyst is a rare lesion predominantly occurring in the lower limbs of young women. Although origin of the cyst is unknown, some investigators propose an origin from Müllerian heterotopia, but others from eccrine sweat glands.
