This is one of those cases where we've caught a cyst just as it is heading into inflammation/infection and likely removed enough or even all of the capsule to the point where this won't recur. This is not typical. Most of the time, once the inflammation/infection settles in, the capsule becomes so thin and friable that all we can do is drain it, let it settle down and remove the cyst, capsule and all, a few months later. Cases like this one, though, are refreshing, because they are infrequent and a pleasant surprise! I have seen this patient in follow up and it looks like we won't need to do anything else. Everything has settled.
