Abstract

Epidermoid cysts (ECs) are benign lesions that can be encountered throughout the body, but with a low incidence in the head and neck (1.6 to 7%). In oral cavity, the most common affected site is floor of the mouth, but tonsillar location remains extremely rare (less than 0.01%). Here we present an epidermoid cyst of the right palatine tonsil which was incidentally detected in a patient who consulted for a chronic headache.

摘要

表皮样囊肿（ECs）是一种良性病变，可出现在全身各处，但在头颈部的发病率较低（1.6%至7%）。在口腔中，最常受累的部位是口底，但扁桃体部位仍然极为罕见（低于0.01%）。在此，我们报告一例右侧腭扁桃体表皮样囊肿，该囊肿是在一名因慢性头痛前来就诊的患者中偶然发现的。
