Description
Pericoccygeal epidermoid cyst is a rare benign congenital lesion lined with keratinized squamous epithelium. We report the magnetic resonance imaging findings of an epidermoid cyst at the precoccygeal tip as a cause of coccygodynia in a 32-year-old woman and a retrococcygeal epidermoid cyst in a 27-year-old man. We also describe the pericoccygeal lesions and coccygodynia.
