Abstract

Epidermoids or epidermal inclusion cysts are developmental malformations rarely seen in the oral cavity. They are a histological variant of lesions broadly termed as dermoid cysts. The case discussed here stands out not only due to its unique clinical presentation which can put a clinician in a diagnostic dilemma but also because of its anatomical variation upon surgical exploration which can add to the conundrum.
