Case Report: Post-hip tuberculosis surgery: a rare case of giant iliac intraosseous epidermoid cyst

Despite the extreme rarity of this event, we should be aware of the potential <i>de novo</i> development of epidermoid cyst in patients who underwent surgery in the pelvic region, especially those related to surgery for hip joint tuberculosis. Once the diagnosis is made, thorough intra-lesional curettage with bone graft can achieve better postoperative outcomes.

Abstract

Despite the extreme rarity of this event, we should be aware of the potential <i>de novo</i> development of epidermoid cyst in patients who underwent surgery in the pelvic region, especially those related to surgery for hip joint tuberculosis. Once the diagnosis is made, thorough intra-lesional curettage with bone graft can achieve better postoperative outcomes.
