Abstract

Epidermoid cyst is usually due to infection of pilosebaceous gland or due to traumatic migration of epidermis to the deeper structure of skin. They may present in any place of body which is lined by squamous epithelium. They are rarely present in head neck and in oral cavity. We are presenting rare cases of epidermoid cyst presenting in post aural region and floor of mouth.
