Abstract
This study details our series of epidermoid cysts in the hand, characterising the incidence, clinical characteristics and recurrence rate after marginal excision. A historical cohort of 101 epidermoid cysts that were excised from a soft tissue or intraosseous location in the hand over a 27 year period were reviewed. The incidence of epidermoid cysts, patient age, sex, occupation, anatomic location, history of trauma, treatment complications and cyst recurrence rate were noted. Key findings of the study were as follows. Epidermoid cysts represented a significant portion of our relatively large series of hand tumours. The majority occurred in male patients, most often involving the soft tissues on the palmar aspect of the hand. Four percent were intraosseous epidermoid cysts. After excision with a marginal tumour margin we found that 11 cysts (11%) recurred.
