Abstract
The epidermal cyst is a benign lesion that typically exhibits encircling squamous epithelium, the contents being keratinous debris. While being commonest in the skin, it is rarely reported in the thyroid gland. Usually, a single entity is reported. Therefore, this paper reports 3 cases from a histopathology data pool serving the Ibo/Igbo ethnic group domiciled in a developing community. It is usually misdiagnosed until biopsy confirms the nature of the lesion.
