Epidermal cyst of the preauricular region represents an unusual clinical lesion. It is intradermal or subcutaneous
sac-like structure that is surrounded by keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. We report a case in which a
49-year-old man developed an epidermal cyst presenting as a large preauricular swelling causing pain and tenderness.
The lesion was surgically excised, microscopic examination revealed the epidermal cyst. Therefore we report
