Abstract: Cutaneous ciliated cysts are rare benign lesions occurring in the lower extremities of young females possibly of Mullerian origin. We present two pediatric cases of cutaneous ciliary cysts in unusual sites i.e. a seven months old girl presented with swelling over back for three months and a five years old girl with swelling over suprasternal region. On examination both lesions were non-tender and present in the subcutaneous plane. Histopathological examination assisted by immunohistochemistry confirmed a diagnosis of cutaneous ciliated lesion possibly of eccrine origin that showed positivity for epithelial membrane antigen.
