Abstract EN

Epidermoid cyst is a frequent benign cutaneous tumor.

The pelvic localization does not occur very often.

The literature that taps into such cases is very limited in scope.

Here is a report of a 27-year-old woman with a giant pelvic retroperitoneal epidermoid cyst.

The use of ultrasound exploration and computed tomography has indicated ovarian origins.

The surgery also revealed a retroperitoneal epidermoid cyst, uterus and ovaries were all intact.

The evacuation of a cyst was found to contain lamellas of keratin.

Histology permitted us to confirm the diagnosis.

The patient was faring well after two years of followup.
