Epidermoid cyst refers to the implantation of epidermal elements into the dermal and deeper tissues. In head and neck, incidence ranges from 1.6 to 7%. In the tonsillar area it is extremely rare i.e less than 0.01%. They occur in fetal period  as congenital lesion or as an acquired lesion  either due to a trauma or  as post surgery implant.
