Abstract
We report a case of pilar cyst in a 50 year old female with a swelling in the left parietal region. Gross findings revealed a cystic cavity with multiple infoldings. The characteristic histopathologic feature of a pilar cyst with absence of granular layer and swollen cells were evident. Attention to detail, prompt diagnosis and treatment based on the signs and symptoms are a must for patient welfare.
