Abstract
A case of multiple epidermoid cysts of a 49-year-old man was reported.
Cysts were founded on the left cheek, preauricular region, neck, and temporal region. All these cysts were surgically excised. The cavities were filled with a caseous material.
Microscopic findings revealed that their walls were lined with the squamous epithelium that resembled the skin, but contained neither sweat or sebaceous glands nor hair follicles.
