Two patients were evaluated for asymptomatic flesh\u2010coloured papules appearing on the chest, abdomen and axillae. Lesions of both patients were diagnosed histologically as eruptive vellus hair cyst, which is a disorder with no standard treatment option.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objective\u2002<\/jats:bold> To introduce an alternative treatment and diagnostic technique for eruptive vellus hair cysts and to evaluate this technique's effectiveness histopathologically.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Materials and methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> We treated the lesions by using cautery and a standard dissecting forceps under topical anaesthesia. After puncturing the overlying skin in the centre using the sharp\u2010tipped cautery point, we grasped the base of the cyst using a standard dissecting forceps and we extracted the cysts out. In patient 1, extracted cysts were sent for histopathological examination; in patient 2, microscopic examination of the extracted material was performed in potassium hydroxide preparations.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Over 150 cysts were extracted with this technique in two patients. The technique was simple, quick and tolerated well. No lesion recurrence was observed after 4\u00a0months. On histopathological examination, extracted cysts were observed to have cyst walls. In patient 2, the diagnosis was made within minutes by microscopic examination of the potassium hydroxide preparations of the extracted material.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> Our extraction technique is a simple and effective treatment option for these cysts. It can be regarded as curative since the cyst walls were also extracted. Microscopic examination of the potassium hydroxide preparation of the extracted cysts suggests that this technique can also be used as a simple diagnostic procedure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.01419.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,9]],"date-time":"2006-01-09T10:11:28Z","timestamp":1136801488000},"page":"264-268","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Eruptive vellus hair cysts: an effective extraction technique for treatment and diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"TI","family":"Kaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Tataroglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"U","family":"Tursen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Ikizoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1977.01640040108019"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.1999.03082.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0560.2003.300105.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.2001.01246.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1525-1470.2001.018003258.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1191","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1984.01650450073022","article-title":"Eruptive vellus hair cysts","volume":"120","author":"Lee S","year":"1984","journal-title":"Arch Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"744","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1979.04010060052032","article-title":"Eruptive vellus hair cyst: clinical and histologic findings","volume":"115","author":"Lee S","year":"1979","journal-title":"Arch Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1524-4725.1999.99075.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1525-1470.2003.20519.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1982.tb02097.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.1987.tb03947.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1987.tb05862.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.2001.01325.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1524-4725.2003.29190.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000372-199612000-00018"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1996.tb07631.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(92)70127-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000372-199706000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"338","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1979.04010030046018","article-title":"Eruptive vellus hair cysts","volume":"115","author":"Bovernmayer DA","year":"1979","journal-title":"Arch Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(97)70294-9"}],"container-title":["Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1468-3083.2006.01419.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.01419.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,11]],"date-time":"2023-10-11T20:17:17Z","timestamp":1697055437000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.01419.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,27]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.01419.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.01419.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9959","1468-3083"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9959","type":"print"},{"value":"1468-3083","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,27]]}}}
