چکیده

A ten-month-old girl presented to our clinic with a progressively enlarging congenital mass at the midline suprasternal location.

Dermoid cysts of the trunk are rare lesions, but a midline location is characteristic for these congenital masses. A dermoid cyst should be high on the list of differential diagnoses given a unilocular midline cyst in a neonate.
