A code for excision of a benign lesion (e.g., 11400), specific to location and size of the cyst, would probably be most appropriate.
These cysts are more common in adults than in children. Sometimes, epidermal cysts are called sebaceous cysts. This is not correct because the contents of the two types of cysts are different.

Epidermoid cyst Epidermoid (ep-ih-DUR-moid) cysts are noncancerous small bumps beneath the skin. They can appear anywhere on the skin, but are most common on the face, neck and trunk. Epidermoid cysts are slow growing and often painless, so they rarely cause problems or need treatment.
