Congenital Epidermoid Cyst within the Parotid Gland - A Rare Presentation
Abstract: Epidermoid cysts are common skin lesions that consist of epithelial lined cavities which are filled with viscous or semisolid epithelial degradation products. Epidermoid cyst can occur anywhere in the body and are most common in the ovary and testicle. They are uncommon in the head and neck region, occurring in 7 %. of all epidermoid cysts of the body. Epidermoid cysts can be congenital or acquired. Intraparotid congenital epidermoid cysts are very rare and can be confused with other cystic parotid lesions, neoplasm or abscess. We present clinical features, radiographic features and surgical management of a case of intraparotid congenital epidermoid cyst
