Epidermal inclusion cyst of buccal mucosa: A rare case report

Epidermal inclusion cyst also called as epidermoid cyst is the most common cutaneous cyst. Intraoral epidermoid cysts are rare and account <0.01% of cases. Epidermal inclusion cyst more specifi cally refers to the implantation of epidermal elements into the dermal and deeper tissues. These cysts are often asymptomatic and slow growing, but may get secondarily infected and become symptomatic. We report a case of epidermoid cyst present over the left cheek region in a 40-year-old male patient.
