DIAZ FERNANDEZ, José Manuel et al. Surgical treatment of patients with epidermal inclusion cysts. MEDISAN [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.6, pp. 806-813. ISSN 1029-3019.

A prospective, longitudinal and randomized study of 29 patients with epidermal inclusion cysts in the cervicofacial region, not infected, assisted in the Maxillofacial Surgery Service of "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from June, 2011 to November, 2012, surgically treated by means of the methods of minimal lineal incision or W excision, with the aim of comparing the results of both procedures. It was obtained that the average surgical time was shorter in the group of minimal lineal incision and that the cysts fluctuating from less than 1 cm and up to 2 cm, located in the facial aesthetic units of greater demand, were better treated with this method, what produced better results and a non significant recurrence value in relation to the W excision

Palabras clave : epidermal inclusion cysts; cervicofacial region; minimal lineal incision; W excision; secondary health care.
