Pilar cysts are common squamous-lined cysts that typically occur on the scalp. They are believed to arise from the isthmus of anagen hairs or from the sac surrounding catagen and telogen hairs. The authors describe a rare case of a pilar cyst with prominent ductal differentiation, presumably of eccrine derivation. Sweat duct differentiation has been described in a myriad of cutaneous neoplasms and rarely within epidermoid cysts. The authors could only find one other case in the literature describing a pilar cyst with sebaceous and apocrine differentiation. The clinicopathologic findings are described here.
