Epidermal inclusion cysts (EIC) are common benign cysts; can be found anywhere in the body. However, EIC of elbow region is rare and it poses a diagnostic challenge clinically due its location and mimicking olecranon bursitis or other lesions at that location. The diagnosis of EIC is confirmed on histopathology with presence of a cyst lined by stratified squamous epithelium and cavity filled with keratin flakes. Here we report a case of epidermal inclusion cyst of right elbow in a 33-year-old male patient.
