Keratocyst

Keratocyst

A keratocyst is a type of cutaneous cyst. They appear similar to epidermoid cysts; however, are not limited to a specified location on the body. Keratocyst are most often reported in persons with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.[1]

Pathology

Keratocysts have a stratified squamous epithelial wall without sebaceous lobules.[2]
