Epithelial inclusion cyst of the cecum (EICC) or epidermoid cyst of the cecum is extremely rare. Only seven cases of EICC have been reported in the English literature until now. A case of EICC is being reported in a 25-year-old female who presented with a pelvic mass associated with lower abdominal pain radiating to back. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan showed a well-defined mass juxtaposed to cecum. During operation, a subserosal cystic mass was found adherent to the anterior wall of the cecum and confirmed to be an epithelial inclusion cyst histopathologically. It is being reported due to its extreme rarity.
盲肠上皮包涵囊肿（EICC）或盲肠表皮样囊肿极为罕见。截至目前，英文文献中仅报道过7例EICC。本文报告了一例EICC病例，患者为一名25岁女性，表现为盆腔肿块并伴有向下腹部放射至背部的疼痛。腹部增强CT扫描显示一个与盲肠相邻的边界清晰的肿块。手术过程中，发现一个浆膜下囊性肿块附着于盲肠前壁，经组织病理学证实为上皮包涵囊肿。因其极为罕见，故予以报道。
