Epidermoid cysts are subcutaneous lesions that arise from epidermal cells’ proliferation within a confined space and subsequent cystic transformation. They are usually slow growing and have a benign behavior. Clinically, they appear as a smooth, soft and movable lesion and are often asymptomatic. A central pore connects the cyst to the overlying skin that appears smooth. Epidermoid cysts are quite common and can be usually found on the face, head and neck, trunk and genitals. Eyelid are more unusual locations for epidermoid cyst. The purpose of this article was to present and discuss the management of an epidermoid cyst of the upper eyelid in a 58-year-old man.
