  • Title: Posttraumatic epidermal inclusion cyst of the deep infratemporal fossa.
    Author: Acarturk TO, Stofman GM.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 2001 Jan; 46(1):68-71. PubMed ID: 11192040.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of an epidermal inclusion cyst found in the deep infratemporal fossa 12 years after the patient sustained blunt trauma to that region. Posttraumatic epidermal inclusion cysts are rare and occur mainly in the fingers, palms, and soles. Introduction of the epidermal elements into the dermis during the trauma is thought to be the cause. This case is rare in presentation, with few reports in the English literature that describe an epidermal inclusion cyst in the deep infratemporal fossa. Review of the English literature disclosed no other cases of epidermal inclusion cyst after blunt trauma involving the deep infratemporal region.
