Epidermal inclusion cysts are lesions that are benign and commonly occur on the regions of the scalp, face, neck, and scrotum. It is usually a painless condition but may become painful if it gets infected. A rupture of the cyst wall can lead to an intensely painful inflammatory reaction, and it is a common presentation to a surgeon. In this case, the patient reported multiple painless swellings on the scrotum, which were excised under spinal anesthesia. It was initially thought to be trichilemmal cysts, but on histopathological examination (HPE), it was diagnosed as epidermal inclusion cysts.
