Epidermal inclusion (epidermoid) cyst and dermoid cysts are benign cysts occur all over the body; 7% occurs in head neck region, most common site being lateral third of eye brow second common site is floor of mouth. Epidermoid cyst of pinna is not uncommon while multiple epidermoid cysts of pinna are rare. By definition when the cyst is lined only by epithelial lining is called epidermal inclusion (epidermoid) cyst. I am reporting a case in which a 30 years old male presented to me with multiple swelling behind the left ear. Physical examination showed four swelling of different sizes. Needle aspiration cytology was suggestive of epidermoid cysts. Surgery was performed and all cysts were excised with different incisions. Histological examinations of resected specimen were consistent with epidermoid cysts. No recurrence was noted on seven month of follow up.
