ABSTRACT
Epidermal inclusion cysts (EICs) are benign masses that often develop on the face, scalp, neck, and back. Typically, EICs occur secondary to acne or obstructed hair follicles. However, the development of multiple EICs is associated with various syndromes and invasive procedures. Despite their relatively benign nature, a small percentage of EICs have been found to undergo malignant transformation. The complete excision of EICs is essential for their definitive treatment because of their ability to rupture, causing pain and infection. We present the first reported case of a patient without a history of acne, axillary surgery, or genetic syndromes who presented with multiple, painless, bilateral axillary EICs.
