Epidermal inclusion cysts are the most common benign soft-tissue lesions of the skin. It is typically recognized as a small and slow-growing palpable mass. We demonstrate an atypical case of a giant mass (11 cm) in the left buttock around the perianal area existing there for more than 40 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and excisional biopsy were very helpful to confirm the diagnosis, while a surgical exicion was performed as the choice of treatment.

Keywords: Mass, epidermal cyst.

Epidermal kistler cildin en sık görülen iyi huylu yumuşak doku tümörleridir. Tipik olarak küçük, yavaş büyüyen ele gelen kitleler olarak kabul edilirler. Yazımızda 40 yıldır sol kalçada perianal bölgede büyümüş atipik kitlesi olan vakayı sunduk. Tedavi seçeneği cerrahi eksizyon iken, tanısında magnetic rezonans (MR) ve eksizyonel biyopsi yardımcı oldu.
