Cysts are benign epithelial tumors widespread. The trichilemmal cysts, originating from the anagen’s isthmus, represent about 20% of the cysts and are located more frequently in the scalp (90%). Several methods can be used for the removal of the cysts. The choice of technique depends on its characteristics, such as size, mobility, consistency, quiescence, inflammation, and quantity. However, they may grow again if the capsule is incomplete removed. The authors present a simple variant of the marsupialization technique that allows its complete removal.
