TLDR A young girl had a rare neck cyst removed and needs careful monitoring for related health issues.
This case report describes a rare trichilemmal cyst in the neck of a 10-year-old girl, an unusual location since 90% of these cysts are found on the scalp. The cyst was surgically removed and confirmed through histopathological examination. The report stresses the importance of close follow-up due to the risk of malignant transformation, particularly given the patient's young age and the cyst's uncommon location. It also underscores the need to monitor for symptoms of KID syndrome in similar cases.
