Intraosseous epidermal inclusion cysts (IEpC) are benign bone tumors that often present in the phalanges of the fingers, but rarely are seen in the lower extremity. These tumors often present following surgery, and have a similar clinical and radiographic presentation to osteomyelitis. The lack of defining characteristics makes preoperative diagnosis of these tumors very difficult. It is crucial to differentiate these tumors from malignant lesions with similar presentation. This case study presents our treatment of this osseous tumor and reviews the available literature describing this condition.

骨内表皮样囊肿（IEpC）是一种良性骨肿瘤，常发生于手指指骨，但很少见于下肢。这些肿瘤常在手术后出现，其临床和影像学表现与骨髓炎相似。由于缺乏明确的特征，术前诊断这些肿瘤非常困难。将这些肿瘤与表现相似的恶性病变区分开来至关重要。本病例研究介绍了我们对这种骨肿瘤的治疗方法，并回顾了描述该疾病的现有文献。
