Abstract
Cystic swellings are common in the craniofacial region. The majority are subcuticular in nature, they may present as nodular and fluctuant lesions and are seen most frequently in the hair bearing region of head and neck. The most common cause is the inflammation of the hair follicle and rarely following the implantation of the epithelium, subsequent to a trauma or surgery. We are reporting a rare case of epidermoid cyst in the parotid region of a 31-year-old African male. A diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst was given on cytological examination and confirmed by the histopathological study.
