Abstract
Cystic lesions of the thyroid are quiet common. The differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the thyroid ranges from developmental, degenerative, non-neoplastic, inclusion and neoplastic disorders. Epidermal inclusion cyst, though a common entity, is extremely rare in the thyroid gland and is thought to arise from foci of squamous metaplasia. We report a rare case of ruptured intrathyroidal epidermal inclusion cyst which was diagnosed on histopathology as an incidental finding coexisting with multiple colloid nodules.
