Abstract
Background: An epidermal cyst is a common benign tumor occurring in any part of the body but it rarely occurs in the penis. This case report highlights the management of a penile epidermal inclusion cyst. Case report: A young man presented with a lesion he noticed about a month after circumcision. The lesion was at the side of the frenulum and was painless. The lesion increased in size and had to be excised with a rim of normal tissue. The wound healed unremarkably and histology revealed an epidermal inclusion cyst. Discussion: Epidermal inclusion cysts can be congenital and may also occur following surgery. Circumcision is a good trigger for the development of an epidermal cyst on this occasion. This condition is rare, so other differentials should be ruled out. Conclusion: An epidermal inclusion cyst of the penis is rare. Before this diagnosis is made other more common differentials should be ruled out
