Epidermoid Cysts of Head and Neck Region: Case Series and Review of Literature
Epidermoid and dermoid cysts are hamartomas localized on the neck, head, or trunk, usually visible at birth. In some instances, careful medical examination may help to find most epidermoid and dermoid cysts. Ambiguity about their exact pathogenesis exists and dysontogenetic, traumatic, and thyroglos...
