LARGE EPIDERMAL INCLUSION CYST OF THE MALE BREAST: A CASE REPORT
Abstract
A case of a large epidermal inclusion cyst was diagnosed in a 40 year- old man, presented with a left breast mass. Mammogram demonstrated a well- circumscribed mass occupying almost the entire left breast. Ultrasound showed a well-defined heterogeneous hypoechoic mass with through-transmission. Surgical excision of the mass revealed an epidermal inclusion cyst.
