Journal Title: SSR Institute of International Journal of Life Sciences (SSR-IIJLS) - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Epidermoid cysts represent most common benign, cutaneous cysts. Most frequently was seen on face, scalp, and trunk. It accounts for approximately 80% of follicular cyst of skin. Epidermoid cyst usually remains asymptomatic until it gets secondarily infected. Malignant changes are seen very rarely. We describe a case of the huge post auricular epidermoid cyst, which was encasing extra-temporal part of the facial nerve and was in close proximity to external carotid artery. The cyst was excised surgically and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of epidermoid cyst.
