Abstract
Epidermal inclusion cysts are cysts occurring in intradermal or subcutaneous regions with the cyst wall consisting of the true epidermis. They are slow-growing tumors that occur most commonly on the scalp, neck, face, and trunk. They are common in infancy and childhood or after female external genitalia mutilation. Herein, we report a case of a spontaneously occurring epidermal inclusion cyst of the clitoris, a rare location in a 43-year-old woman which was removed by local excision.Keywords
