Abstract

As epidermoid cysts generally originate from hair follicle infundibulum, they appear as intradermal or subcutaneous tumors and are very rare in locations away from the skin. Here, we report a rare case of intertendinous epidermoid cyst of the forearm in a 68-year-old man that was treated surgically.
