Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 1999 Dec;87(2):163-5. doi: 10.1016/s0301-2115(99)00096-2.

Abstract

Epidermal cysts are slowly growing, intradermal or subcutaneous tumors with a wall composed of true epidermis. They occur most commonly on the face, scalp, neck, and trunk. We report the unusual case of a 16-year-old girl with an epidermal cyst of the clitoris. The tumor was removed by local excision.
