Relative incidence of cutaneous cysts, where epidermoid cysts constitute a plurality (blue area). An epidermoid cyst or epidermal inclusion cyst [1] is a benign cyst usually found on the skin. The cyst develops out of ectodermal tissue. Histologically, it is made of a thin layer of squamous epithelium.
A sebaceous cyst is a term commonly used to refer to either: [1] Epidermoid cysts (also termed epidermal cysts, infundibular cyst) Pilar cysts (also termed trichelemmal cysts, isthmus-catagen cysts) Both of the above types of cysts contain keratin, not sebum, and neither originates from sebaceous glands.
Epidermoid tumors strongly adhere to the brain stem or cranial nerves. Often the lining of the tumor connected to the brain stem or parts difficult to "peel" away are left behind leaving residual tumor after surgery, this can contribute to the risk of regrowth. About 40% of these cysts originate in the cerebellopontine angle. [3]
[2] [14] (See section on Types of vocal cord cysts for more information.) If the vocal fold cyst(s) are presumed to be congenital, the patient should have a history of presenting with a hoarse voice. [9] Patients with vocal fold cysts are considered for surgery when presenting with: [2] Dysphonia; Lack of improvement through voice therapy

Not all middle ear epidermal cysts are congenital, as they can be acquired either by metaplasia of the middle ear mucosa or by traumatic implantation of ear canal or tympanic membrane skin. In addition, cholesteatoma inadvertently left by a surgeon usually regrows as an epidermal cyst. Some authors have also suggested hereditary factors. [9] [10]
