Abstract
Epidermal inclusion cyst is a benign lesion that commonly occurs due to inclusion
of epidermal cells into the dermal or deeper layers in a trauma event. Percutaneous
release is a minimally invasive technique, and good surgical outcomes can be achieved.
However, the percutaneous procedure is a puncture injury, and the epidermal inclusion
cyst is reasonable to become a possible complication. In this article, we presented
a case of trigger finger in left middle finger. The patient underwent percutaneous
release as the treatment and a second percutaneous release 5 months later due to recurrence
of the symptoms. An epidermal inclusion cyst was noted 5 months thereafter, and it
was treated with excision. With this case, we need to be more aware of this possibility
if a mass lesion without infection signs occurs in the released area and recommend
sonography if there is a mass lesion a few months after the procedure.
