A dermoid cyst is a cyst of the skin that uncommonly occurs at the site of the circumcision wound as it heals. It is a late-presenting complication of male circumcision.[1]
A cyst is described as "an abnormal closed epithelium-lined sac in the body that contains a liquid or semisolid substance."[2] There are many types of cysts. Most are benign.
Dermoid cysts secondary to circumcision may be less uncommon where traditional circumcision is practiced. Osifo & Oriaifo (2009) reported 10 cases of implantation cyst among 346 circumcised boys in Nigeria.[3] Ekenze & Ezomike (2013) reported 4 cases of implantation dermoid cyst among 64 patients in Nigeria.[4] Appiah et al. (2016) reported 3 cases of epidermal inclusion cyst among 72 cases of circumcision complications in Ghana.[5]
Treatment
Dermoid cysts are treated by surgical excision of the cyst.[1][6]
Case reports
Okeke (2009) reported the case of a ten-year-old circumcised boy in Nigeria with a swelling on the ventral aspect of his penis at the circumcision scar.[6]
Saini et al. (2010) reported the case of a fiwe-year-old boy who presented with an epidermal inclusion cyst on his penis, which was a late complication of circumcision.[7]
El-Shazly et al. (2012) reported the case of a 32-year-old male with an epidermal inclusion cyst on his penis secondary to circumcision. The cyst contained a stone and had two urethrocutaneous fistulae.[1]
