Abstract
Epidermoid cysts (ECs) are benign lesions that can be encountered anywhere in the body as congenital or acquired. In oral cavity, the most common affected site is floor of mouth but the incidence of ECs arising in the tonsil is very rare. Though it is extremely rare, EC should be considered as a differential diagnosis of tonsillar masses. Also otolaryngologysts should be differentiate it from the tonsillar neoplasia due to similar appearance. We aimed to report the case of EC arising in the tonsil which was encountered as a tonsillar mass. Also we discussed role of histopathology in such rare lesions.
