Inclusion cyst

Introduction

Introduction to inclusion cyst Inclusion cysts, also known as epidermoid cysts, implanted epidermoid cysts, pearl tumors, post-traumatic dermoid cysts, etc., are mostly located in the palm of the palm or fingers, and grow slowly. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.03%-0.08% Susceptible people: hand injury Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: bacterial infection

Cause

Inclusion cyst

The cause of inclusion of cyst

It is generally believed that inclusion cysts are caused by the introduction of epithelial tissue into deep tissues during trauma. Most cases have a history of trauma, as well as those that occur alongside the surgical incision due to surgery. Cysts can appear months or even years after injury.

Physiological pathology including cyst

(1) The naked eye: The cyst is round or elliptical, can be divided into leaves, the wall of the capsule is white and shiny, and the content is white granular oily substance. The biochemical analysis includes cholesterol and fat.

(2) Microscopic examination: visible foreign body reactive giant cells.

Prevention

Inclusion cyst prevention

1. Change the habits of daily diet and reduce the fat content and total calories in food.

2. Eat more red vegetables. Focus on carrots, tomatoes, red dates, dragon fruit and other red fruits and vegetables. Drinking more water can enhance blood circulation, promote metabolism, and promote the secretion of glands, especially the digestive gland and pancreatic juice, bile.

2, anti-inflammatory is not timely or inappropriate, there may be bacterial infection.

Symptom

Inclusion of cyst symptoms common symptoms, pain, phlegm, hypertrophy, partial tenderness

The inclusion cyst is mostly located on the palm side of the palm or finger, and grows slowly, sometimes with mild pain and tenderness. When accompanied by an infection, the mass of the lumps is enlarged with redness and tenderness, and sometimes it is worn by itself. The mass is soft, inelastic, often adheres to the skin, and has no adhesion to deep tissues. Cysts can occur in the bone, and are more common in the distal phalanx, which is characterized by a gradual thickening of the distal phalanx, with little or no pain.

Examine

(2) Microscopic examination: visible foreign body reactive giant cells.

(3) Cysts occur in the bone. X-ray films show a transparent area with round or elliptical edges on the phalanx. There is no calcification, thin cortical bone, and sometimes fracture lines.

Diagnosis

Inclusion cyst diagnosis and identification

Cysts occur in the bone. X-ray films show a transparent area with round or elliptical edges on the phalanx. There is no calcification and thin cortical bone. Sometimes there are fracture lines.

More traumatic history, more common on the palm side. Asymptomatic mass, inelastic, non-adhesive to surrounding tissues.
