Abstract
The epidermal inclusion cyst constitutes less than 0.01% of all the oral cysts in head and neck region. They are congenital lesions caused due to defective fusion of the embryonic lateral mesenchymal tissues. It has a variable tissue origin and can originate from ectoblastic, mesoblastic or endoblastic tissues. The incidence rate of epidermal cyst involving head and neck region is 1.6–7.0%. Clinically the epidermal inclusion cyst is characterized by dysphagia, dyspnoea and dysphonia. Here we are presenting a case of epidermal inclusion cyst in a 45 year old female involving left lateral border of tongue.
