Abstract
We report a case of epidermoid cyst arising in the uvula of a 9-month-old male infant. The patient visited our pediatric department because of a common cold, and a tumorous mass of the uvula was detected. He was referred to our department. Clinical examination revealed a yellowish white projection measuring 9 × 9 × 9 mm at the tip of the uvula. There was no problem with movement of the uvula. The clinical diagnosis was a benign cyst, and the lesion was excised under intravenous sedation. It was diagnosed to be an epidermoid cyst.
