Cutaneous ciliated cyst with interspersed apocrine features presenting as a pilonidal cyst in a child.

We present a case of a cutaneous ciliated cyst that presented in a 13-year-old female. The lesion was felt to be a pilonidal cyst, based on its location and clinical appearance. This case is unusual because it is the youngest reported example of this very rare lesion. In addition, the admixture of apocrine and ciliated cells is extremely unusual. The histogenesis of cutaneous ciliated cysts is considered.
