Pigmented follicular cysts are newly described cutaneous cysts with characteristic histology. They are usually single pigmented lesions occurring in men between 20 and 63 years of age that often are mistaken for nevi. The eighth case of this newly described cyst is presented; a brief review of epithelial cysts and how they differ from pigmented follicular cysts also is reported.
