- Abstract
The epidermal cyst, also called infundibular cyst, is a common benign skin tumor. This stems from the infundibular portion of the hair follicle, which rarely affects hairless areas such as the palms and soles. The etiology of epidermal cysts on palms and soles may be different from that caused by inflammation of the hair follicle. We report the case of a 30-year-old female patient with a lump in right plant, histology showed epidermal cyst. After surgical excision patient presented an adequate functional outcome without recurrence.
