Study Notes
Skin Structure
- Composed of epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, along with subcutaneous tissues (fat cells, blood vessels, lymphatics, and lymph nodes)
- Skin is the largest organ in the body
- Appendages include sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles
Sebaceous Cyst
- Composed of keratin, epithelial cells, and glandular debris
- Can become abscessed, leading to fever, pain, and reddish skin
- Filled with sebum, and attached to skin by a punctum
- Characterized by the moulding sign, a sign of fecal impaction, with necrotic tissues
- Treatment involves removing the punctum with the cyst; infected cysts are incised and drained
Dermoid Cyst
- Differentiated from lipoma by its site
- Can be parosteal or intrarticular types
- Large cysts in the neck and back may be liposarcomas
- Extradural cysts can cause paraplegia or incontinence
Haemangioma and Lipoma
- Haemangioma: no specific mention in the text
- Lipoma: differentiated from dermoid cyst by its site; large lipomas in the neck and back may be liposarcomas
