The detail information of Sebaceous cyst
Basic Information

Disease Description: A small mass in the skin with a secretory lining and filled with a yellow waxy-like material (see #107).

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: Smooth, round firm to fluctuant growths, roughly 5mm to 5cm in diameter. They may have a slightly blue color to them. Release of a grayish white or brown discharge with a cheesy consistency. Development of cysts on the head, neck, body and upper legs.

Disease Cause: -

Disease Diagnose: Fine needle aspiration. A diagnosis can often be made by placing a small needle within the cyst and suctioning some cells out of it with a syringe. Microscopic evaluation of the cells will often be suggestive of a sebaceous cyst. Biopsy. A definitive diagnosis may require a sample of tissue that has been surgically removed.

Treat Method: In most cases no treatment is necessary. If the decision is made to biopsy the cyst, complete surgical removal is usually performed. This is curative.

Breeder Advice: At home, monitor the cyst for changes in size or evidence of irritation. Although these are benign growths, fine needle aspiration does not always provide a conclusive diagnosis. For this reason, rapidly enlarging masses should be surgically removed and biopsied to ensure there is no evidence of malignancy (cancer).
