"Sebaceous Cysts" are Trichilemmal Cysts
Abstract
In search for a normal prototype of the common thick-walled cutaneous cyst (wen), predominantly found on the scalp and usually misnamed "sebaceous cyst," attention was focused on the middle portion of the human anagen hair follicle between bulge and sebaceous gland. It was found that above the zone of sloughing of the inner root sheath, the thus exposed outer root sheath (trichilemma) undergoes a specific type of differentiation in which the cells enlarge vertically, lose their nuclei, and form dense keratin without the intermediate of a granular layer. Similar keratinization takes place in the trichilemmal sac around the catagen hair and produces the telogen club. Trichilemmal keratinization resembles that taking place in wens in structural detail as well as in histologic staining reactions and is dissimilar from epidermis-like keratin formation taking place in the sebaceous duct, the follicular upper portion (infundibulum, pilosebaceous canal) and epidermoid cysts. "Sebaceous cysts" therefore appear to be trichilemmal cysts.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
