Conclusion:
Despite being a benign, slow-growing tumour, the epidermal cyst can make
diagnosis challenging. In this case, the authors show that a giant
epidermal cyst can grow for a long time and have negative effects on the
surrounding structures as well as serious cosmetic issues that may call
for mental health counselling. Therefore, for patients with a giant
epidermal cyst, early surgical excision is advised. We thus hope to add
to the existing body of scientific literature.
