Abstract

Epidermoid cyst of the neck or auricular area are relatively more common than that of the oral cavity. In most cases about 80% they remain asymptomatic. But in about 20% cases it becomes painful because of secondary infection seeking treatment. Here we present a case report of biopsy proved Epidermoid cyst with life threatening infection.
