Dermatologic surgery
Sebaceous cyst is a benign skin lesion that appears as a result of sebum and keratin accumulation at the level of a sebaceous gland or hair follicle. It manifests as a nodule under the skin, usually well-demarcated, which can appear on areas such as scalp, face, neck, back or chest.
Excision of sebaceous cyst under 3 cm represents the surgical method used for complete removal of the cyst, including its capsule, to reduce the risk of recurrence.
The procedure consists of surgical excision of the cyst, performed through a small incision at the skin level, followed by removal of the lesion and wound closure. The intervention is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.
In certain situations, the excised tissue can be sent for histopathological examination, to confirm the diagnosis.
Surgical excision of the sebaceous cyst has several advantages:
- complete removal of the cyst and its capsule
- reduced risk of recurrence
- safe and effective procedure
- good aesthetic result after healing
The duration of the procedure is generally 20–40 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cyst.
