An Unusual Presentation of Keratinous Cyst – A Case Report

The cyst was excised, and the affected bone underwent curettage. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a keratinous cyst with no evidence of granuloma or malignancy. Postoperatively, the patient experienced an uneventful recovery, undergoing immobilization and later non-weight-bearing mobilization. This case highlights the importance of considering non-infective causes, such as keratinous cysts, when evaluating bone lesions with lytic characteristics, especially in the presence of a history of trauma or previous interventions. Prompt surgical intervention and histopathological examination are critical for accurate diagnosis and management.

Abstract

The cyst was excised, and the affected bone underwent curettage. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a keratinous cyst with no evidence of granuloma or malignancy. Postoperatively, the patient experienced an uneventful recovery, undergoing immobilization and later non-weight-bearing mobilization. This case highlights the importance of considering non-infective causes, such as keratinous cysts, when evaluating bone lesions with lytic characteristics, especially in the presence of a history of trauma or previous interventions. Prompt surgical intervention and histopathological examination are critical for accurate diagnosis and management.
