| description | Epidermoid cyst is a common benign cutaneous swelling
frequently encountered in surgical practice. It usually
presents as a painless lump frequently occurring in hairbearing
areas of the body particularly the scalp, scrotum,
neck, shoulder and back. Giant epidermoid cysts commonly
occur in hairy areas such as the scalp. We present here the
case of a rare occurrence of a giant epidermoid cyst in the
less hairy area of the right upper thigh mimicking a soft
tissue sarcoma. Steps are highlighted for the management of
this unusual cyst. |
