Epidermal cysts are benign slow growing tumors resulting from proliferation of epidermal cells. Usually cysts are asymptomatic; however, they may become inflamed or secondarily infected. Epidermal cysts are solitary subepithelial cysts, are slowly progressive and firm in consistency. They are most commonly seen on the face, scalp, neck and trunk. Epidermoid cysts are frequently seen on the upper eyelid, mainly on the conjunctiva or on the skin. This may be misdiagnosed as chalazion or sebaceous cyst. Surgical excision of the cyst in toto is the treatment of choice or else there will be recurrence, granulomatous reaction or foreign body reaction.
