Abstract

Epidermoid cyst is rare congenital lesion of ectodermal origin that arises from the remnants of the embryonic tissues. Although epidermal cysts are frequently observed throughout the body, they are rarely found in the presacral regions. It more commonly occurs in women of reproductive age as an asymptomatic, incidental finding during routine physical examination or imaging studies, or during obstetric and gynecologic events.
