          Abstract

          Keratin or epidermoid cysts of the phalanges are rare lesions mimicking osteolytic lesions such as infection, malignancy and other tumours. Definitive diagnosis can be made by histopathology only and treatment is by simple excision and curettage. We present a case of intraosseous keratin cyst of the distal phalanx and review of literature.

          Intraosseous epidermoid cysts of the hand skeleton: a series of eight patients.

          K. Simon, A Leithner, K Bodo … (2011)
          This paper reviews the clinical and radiographic features and treatment results in eight patients with intraosseous epidermoid cysts in the terminal phalanx of a finger seen over a period of 26 years. Data on age, sex, occupation, diagnostic findings, history of injury in six cases, treatment and follow-up were obtained by reviewing medical records and the histopathological findings using the hospital database. The most frequent symptoms of pressure pain, tenderness, redness and swelling occurred at a median time of 12 years after trauma. Male patients were mainly affected (7:1). In four the intraosseous epidermoid cysts were confused with other osteolytic diseases before surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging is recommended in any case of an osteolytic, expanding lesion, particularly in cases that are clinically and radiologically not obviously an intraosseous epidermoid cyst.

              Phalangeal intraosseous epidermoid cyst.

              Kirti Moholkar, Adam P. McGraw, Barbara Bonvento (2004)
              The authors describe two cases of phalangeal intraosseous epidermoid cyst. Two theories try to explain their origin. One theory sees traumatic implantation of epidermal cells as causative. A second theory is based on faulty embryogenesis.
