Alshahrani W, Hijazi A. A spontaneous epidermal inclusion cyst of the vulva: A case report. J Case Rep Images Obstet Gynecol 2025;11(2):5–7.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Epidermal inclusion cyst can occur in multiple parts of the body including the female genitals. Most cases occur in women with past surgical procedure done including female genital mutualization or episiotomy. We present here a case of epidermal inclusion cyst with no history of valvular surgery or trauma.
Case Report: A 24-year-old lady who presented to the clinic complaining of a slow growing mass which has affected her daily life due to its size. Upon examination, 8 × 5 cm palpable and nontender mass was noted. Surgical excision was done to the mass and tissue was sent for histopathology.
Conclusion: Epidermal inclusion cyst should always be considering a differential diagnosis in cases of valvular mass.
Keywords: Clitoral mass, Epidermal cyst, Valvular mass, Vulvar tumor
