Abstract
Epidermoid cysts present as a nodular and fluctuant subcutaneous lesion beneath the skin and are most common in acne-prone areas of the head, neck and back. The cyst develops out of ectodermal tissue. however, primary epidermal cysts of salivary gland appear to be very rare, there are only very few case reports of epidermal cyst in parotid gland that have been published in world literature. We are presenting a case of a 22 year old female who presented with a swelling in right parotid region with multiple discharging sinuses for last 17 years. Patient received first and second line antitubercular treatment elsewhere on account of a highly misleading clinical picture. A diagnosis of infected epidermoid cyst was made on frozen section intraoperatively. Excision of the cyst and the involved skin along with a partial parotidectomy was performed and histopathology confirmed the above diagnosis. The cosmetic defect was repaired with the advice of the Plastic Surgeon.
