Abstract:
Epidermal cysts are the most common cysts of the skin. Aconventional epidermal cyst rarely reaches a size of more than 5 cm in diameter. We report on two cases of giant epidermal cyst occurring in the neck. One patient had a cyst measuring 12x9x9 cm and the other patient had a non-pulsatile, dome-shaped lesion in the neck, which measured 6x5x3 cm. The lesions were totally excised. Histopathologically, both were confirmed as giant epidermal cysts.
