Histopathologic examination was consistent with an epidermoid cyst with seborrheic verrucalike cyst wall and acantholytic change was also found in the cyst wall. Human papillomavirus(HPV)-specific DNA sequences in paraffin-embedded tissue section were not detected by polymerase chain reaction using HPV consensus primers.
