Nadir Bir Bölgede Görülen Epidermoid Kist Olgusunun Difüzyon Ağırlıklı Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme ve Ultrason Bulguları

Epidermoid kistler vücudun herhangi bir yerinde görülebilen sıklıkla asemptomatik olan intradermal lezyonlardır. Vücutta, azalan sıklık sırasına göre; baş, boyun, gövde, ekstremiteler ve skalp bölgesinde görülmektedir. Biz, perineal şişliği olan ve histolojik inceleme sonucunda epidermoid kist tanısı alan 20 yaşındaki kadın olgunun difüzyon ağırlıklı manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (DA MRG) ve ultrason (US) bulgularını sunmaktayız. Epidermoid kist perineal bölgede nadir görülmekte olup literatürde perineal bölge lezyonlarında DA MRG bulguları ile ilgili sınırlı sayıda vaka bildirilmiştir.

Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound Findings of Epidermoid Cyst in an Uncommon Location

Epidermoid cysts are intradermal lesions that are frequently asymptomatic and can be found in any part of the body. The common sites of presentation in descending order of frequency are head, neck, trunk, extremities and the scalp. Here, we present the diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW MRI) and ultrasound (US) findings in a 20 year-old female patient with perineal swelling, diagnosed on histological examination as a perineal epidermoid cyst. This location is rare for this type of cyst and there are limited reports, especially using the DW MRI technique.
