Sebaceous cyst
A sebaceous cyst (a form of trichilemmal cyst; also called: keratin cyst, pilar cyst or wen; more correctly called: epidermal cyst or epidermoid cyst (see ICD-10 L72.0)) is a closed sac or cyst below the surface of the skin that has a lining that resembles the uppermost part (infundibulum) of a hair follicle and fills with a fatty white, semi-solid material called sebum. Sebum is produced by sebaceous glands of the epidermis.
