Abstract

Cutaneous metaplastic synovial cyst is an infrequent lesion, and most cases have a history of preceding surgery or trauma. The spontaneous presentation is very rare. It usually appears as a painful subcutaneous nodule. The differential diagnosis is very varied. Radical surgical excision is the treatment of choice to prevent recurrence. We report a case of spontaneous cutaneous metaplastic synovial cyst on the back, in a 27-year-old male patient. The patient has no history prior surgery or trauma to the area. This is the first published case in the back. We discuss aspects related to the etiology, diagnosis and treatment.
