Epidermoid cyst (histopathology). A: The cyst contained flattened keratin lamellae and the wall was lined with keratinizing stratified squamous epithelial surface without atypia (haematoxylin-eosin, original magnification: ×200). B: Although several lymph vessels were highlighted with D2-40 (arrow), the cyst wall showed no podoplanin positive cells in non-inflamed areas. C: Adjacent to the ruptured cyst wall with secondary inflammatory changes (asterix), the basal epithelial layer showed strong reaction for podoplanin (arrows) (monoclonal podoplanin antibody D2-40, original magnification: ×200).
