Follicular hybrid cyst
Follicular Hybrid Cyst
Follicular Hybrid Cyst (pronunciation: fuh-lik-yuh-lur hahy-brid sist) is a type of cutaneous cyst that is a combination of two or more different types of cysts.
Etymology
The term "Follicular" is derived from the Latin word "folliculus", which means "small bag". "Hybrid" comes from the Latin "hybrida" meaning "offspring of a tame sow and a wild boar", and "Cyst" is derived from the Greek "kystis" meaning "bladder" or "pouch".
Definition
A Follicular Hybrid Cyst is a benign skin lesion that is characterized by the presence of two or more different types of cysts in one lesion. These cysts are typically derived from the hair follicle and can include epidermoid cysts, trichilemmal cysts, and pilar cysts.
Symptoms
The symptoms of a Follicular Hybrid Cyst can vary depending on the types of cysts present. However, common symptoms can include a small, round bump under the skin, skin discoloration, and discomfort or pain if the cyst becomes inflamed or infected.
Treatment
Treatment for a Follicular Hybrid Cyst typically involves surgical removal of the cyst. This can be done through a simple excision procedure, where the cyst is cut out of the skin, or through a more complex procedure known as a cystectomy, where the entire cyst and its surrounding tissue are removed.
