ABSTRACT

Epidermoid cysts are generally benign lesions surrounded by squamous epithelium with cystic contents. The lining of the cysts produce keratin, which resemble a cheese-like material. They typically occur in the skin and mucous membranes and are congenital in origin; iatrogenic epidermoid cysts are rare. Epidermoid cysts are usually painless and asymptomatic, and the ir diagnosis is based on histological examination. This paper aims to present the case report of a 23-year-old patient with an iatrogenic epidermoid cyst that occurred following tracheostomy. The importance of preoperative radiological imaging in the diagnosis of epidermoid cysts is also highlighted.
