“…The finding of an epidermal inclusion cyst in the pelvis with this relatively large size in a pediatric female patient is very rare. To our knowledge, there have been only four prior cases reported in the literature, and this case is the first case in the Middle East [10,[13][14][15]. Hence, it was discovered incidentally during the workup of the fistula observed during the physical examination, which was not connected to the cyst or the urinary bladder.…”

Epidermal inclusion cysts, commonly found cutaneously, rarely manifest in the pelvis. They are typically asymptomatic and often occur following trauma or surgical interventions. Imaging modalities, notably computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), play a crucial diagnostic role. Herein, we report a rare case of a four-year-old female with a complicated medical and surgical history, presented with pain in the right gluteal region in the setting of past history of abscess drainage in the same area. Imaging revealed a cystic lesion in the right pararectal space and a fistula extending between the pelvic cavity and gluteal region. A laparotomy was performed, and a histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermal inclusion cyst with no evidence of malignancy.

“…Epidermal cysts are frequently occurring benign cysts all over the body and their presence in the sacrum coccygeal region is very rare. Cysts in these regions generally have embryological origins [2] . An epidermal inclusion cyst develops when epidermal cells migrate into the stratified squamous epithelium-lined dermis.…”

Epidermal cysts are benign tumors commonly known as sebaceous cyst and frequently found throughout the body. These are lined with true, stratified-Squamous epithelium, derived from hair follicle. They can grow of any size and maybe get infected frequently over a period of time. Epidermal is usually asymptomatic and mostly presents as a slowly growing painless mass. Epidermal cyst is most commonly confused with other cysts like dermoid cyst but histopathological examination provides the final diagnosis. We are reporting here an unusual presentation of large epidermal cyst in an old person over sacrumcoccygeal region which was successfully surgically excised. An epidermal cyst of this size is rarely reported over this region.
