| dc.description.abstract | Epidermoid cysts are benign lesions occurring anywhere in the body, but it is a rare entity over glans penis. Even though a few cases are been reported in adult age group, epidermoid cyst occurring at glans penis in young age is very rare. The etiology in penile area is not specific, but it may represent a monolayer teratoma of germ cell origin or an abnormal embryogenic closure of the median raphe. Being benign its harmless, but secondary infections are common which gives an indication for surgical removal of the cyst. Here, we report a case of epidermoid cyst in a 14-year-old boy who came with painless swelling over the glans penis. | en_US |
