Post-circumcision giant epidermal clitoral inclusion cyst: Case report
Abstract
Background: A large epidermal clitoral inclusion cyst may pose a diagnostic dilemma involving several differential diagnoses.
Case: We describe a case of post-circumcision giant epidermal clitoral inclusion cyst including the aetiology, presentation, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, management and reason for its late presentation in a 35-year old married woman.
Conclusion: Although a clitoral cyst is rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis in a female who had previously undergone female genital mutilation and subsequently presents with a clitoral mass. An increased awareness of epidermal clitoral inclusion cyst as a long term complication after type II FGM is necessary.
