Abstract
Thirteen cases of epidermoid cysts and dermoid cysts were clinicopathologically examined. Among them, 9 cases were diagnosed histopathologically as epidermoid cysts and 4 cases as dermoid cysts including one teratoid cyst type. These cysts appeared more freguently in females rather than in males (2: 3), and the age distribution ranged from 7 to 75 years of age (average 35.7 years). The fact that most cases arose at the midline or sites of anatomical union, except for one case that appeared in a patient with tongue cancer after upper neck dissection, supported their congenital pathogenesis and also it suggested the possibility of aquired pathogenesis. There has been no recurrence in this series of patie.
