Abstract
The cutaneous ciliated cyst (CCC) is an unusual lesion found in young women that typically occurs on the lower extremities. This report desc ribes a case of CCC arising in the scalp, a previously undescribed ana tomic location for this lesion. In addition, positive nuclear staining for estrogen and progesterone receptors is demonstrated by immunohist ochemical methods. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.
