Case report reveals a subcutaneous cyst activation in a woman post-pregnancy, suggesting hormonal influence.
Cutaneous ciliated Müllerian cysts are rare, hormonally responsive lesions typically occurring in women’s lower limbs. We report a case of a 22-year-old woman who developed a subcutaneous thigh cyst shortly after pregnancy. Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed Müllerian origin. The lesion was completely excised, with no recurrence at 1 year. This case reinforces the role of hormonal triggers, particularly pregnancy, in the activation of dormant Müllerian rests.
