ABSTRACT
Epidermoid cysts are the benign lesions which occur most commonly in the scalp, back and neck. Occurrence of epidermoid cyst in the breast is very rare and only few cases have been reported in the literature.
Case Report: The 30 years old female presented with lump in the right breast. FNAC was suggestive of benign cystic lesion. Excision biopsy was done and histology showed an keratinous/epidermal cyst with panniculitis.
Conclusion: An epidermoid cyst presenting in the lump in the breast can mimic benign breast lesion. It should be considered for the differential diagnosis of other benign conditions.
Key words: Epidermoid cyst, breast, uncommon site
