Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: This study evaluated the clinical outcomes of patients with facial sebaceous cyst enucleated by creating minimal elliptical incisions through a keratin-filled orifice. METHODS: Eleven patients with facial sebaceous cyst enucleated by creating minimal elliptical incisions through a keratin-filled orifice were reviewed, including 9 males and 2 females aged 25-52 years. The mean cyst size was 1.85 cm ×1.56 cm. RESULTS: All cysts were successfully enucleated. The mean wound length was 0.93 cm. The mean operation time was 15.2 min. The mean follow-up duration was 41.5 months. No recurrence was noted and all patients were very satisfied with their esthetic outcomes. The mean elliptical wound length was 0.93 cm (range, 0.8-1.1 cm). No evidence of wound infection, nerve or vascular injury was found. CONCLUSIONS: Enucleation of facial sebaceous cyst via a minimal elliptical incision through the keratin-filled orifice was associated with high-level patient satisfaction and the method is safe and useful for treating facial epidermoid cysts.
