Keywords:
epidermoid cyst, tonsils, chronic tonsillitis
Abstract
Epidermoid cysts are benign developmental cyst with a low incidence in the head and neck region of approximately 2%. The various locations where the cyst can arise are sublingual, submental, submandibular, buccal mucosa and very rarely the tonsils. Here we present an epidermoid cyst of left tonsil which was incidentally detected in a patient diagnosed of chronic tonsilitis.
