Dr. G. Ravi Babu, Dr. B. Manjula, Dr. M. Apurva

Abstract: Epidermal inclusion cyst presents as a cystic swelling over the lid either spontaneously or secondary to trauma. Eyelid lesions are usually solitary, mobile, and less than 1cm in diameter. They may be confused with other eyelid lesions such as milia and pilar cyst. Histopathological examination shows a keratin filled cyst lined by stratified squamous epithelium, giving a final diagnosis. Here we present a case of epidermal inclusion cyst.
