This report describes a 23\u2010year\u2010old female presenting with an asymptomatic, whitish papule on the attached gingiva near the right mandibular canine. Histopathologically, the lesion showed a cystic cavity mainly lined by orthokeratinized stratified squamous epithelium containing lamellar keratin, without cutaneous adnexal structures in the fibrous connective tissue capsule. No recurrence was observed after 15\u2009months of follow\u2010up. A literature review identified eight epidermoid cysts involving the gingiva or alveolar ridge. This report underscores the importance of including this entity in the differential diagnosis of gingival papules and indicates that accurate clinical recognition coupled with histopathological confirmation ensures curative surgical outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.72671","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]],"date-time":"2026-05-14T04:49:31Z","timestamp":1778734171000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Epidermoid Cyst of the Gingiva: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6599-3950","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Alcides Almeida","family":"de Arruda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Dentistry Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Brazil"},{"name":"School of Dentistry Universidade Federal de Alfenas  Alfenas Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8164-2122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sic\u00edlia Rezende","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Dentistry Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Oral Surgery, Pathology, and Clinical Dentistry, School of Dentistry Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5020-8399","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcela Ferreira Abrah\u00e3o","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Dentistry Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0192-5614","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martinho Campolina Rebello","family":"Horta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Dentistry Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3617-8794","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanna Ribeiro","family":"Souto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Dentistry Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.4853","article-title":"Epidermoid Cyst of the Buccal Mucosa\u2010An Uncommon Entity: Case Report and Literature Review","volume":"9","author":"Dammak N.","year":"2021","journal-title":"Clinical Case Reports"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejro.2019.08.003","article-title":"Overview of Epidermoid Cyst","volume":"6","author":"Hoang V.
