Abstract
A 19-year-old woman with a cutaneous ciliated cyst on her buttock is r eported. Histological, histochemical, and electron microscopic studies revealed ciliated cells, mucinous cells showing merocrine secretion, and areas of squamous metaplasia in the cyst wall. This is the first c ase of cutaneous ciliated cyst that contained non-ciliated mucinous ce lls as a component.
