The most prevalent type of ovarian germ cell tumour is dermoid cysts, also known as mature cystic teratoma. Dermoid cysts are benign tumours that account for 10–25% all and bilateral in 10%–15% cases. They common reproductive-age women, although they can be detected postmenopausal usually asymptomatic. Torsion, rupture, chemical peritonitis, malignant transformation aggravate it, but infect...

Nasal dermoid sinus cysts are the most common congenital midline nasal lesion, accounting for 1% to 3% of all dermoid cysts, and 4% to 12% of all head and neck dermoids. Selection of the appropriate reconstruction technique, after dermoid resection, is important for treatment. Here we describe the successful management of a case with a nasal dermoid sinus cyst using an open rhinoplasty approach...

Four cases of congenital inclusion dermoid cysts located over the anterior fontanelle occurred in male Turkish children aged 6 months to 5 years. These rare cysts presented as slow-growing soft masses over the anterior fontanelle. The cysts were totally removed without recurrence. Dermoid cysts can be easily cured because of the absence of intracranial extension.

I would like to clarify a misconception about the origin and content of dermoid vs epidermoid cysts. Reference was made to this in the article "Temporoparietal Dermoid Cysts with Intracranial Extension" by Currarino and Rutledge [1]. Although these authors ' findings of dermoid cyst with sinus in an unexpected location are certainly of interest, I must differ with the statement that inclusion o...

Congenital dermoid cysts of the central nervous system are ra re lesions. Congenital dermoid cysts located over the anterior fontanel are reported in two Turkish infants. These two cases are examples of such a lesion in an infant of non-African descent. Key Word s: Anterior fontanel, congenital inclusion cyst, dermoid cyst

Mesenteric dermoid cysts are a rare cause of abdominal pain. Although dermoid cysts occur in many parts of the body there have been only a few case reports involving the bowel mesentery. We present a case of a symptomatic mesenteric dermoid cyst involving the ileocaecal junction in a child.

609 throughout the body. These cysts on the face and neck are frequently found in children. New and Erich classified dermoid cysts on the basis of their location. The most frequently involved area is the periorbital area, followed by the nasal dorsum, submental area, and the suprasternal area [1]. Periorbital dermoid cysts are congenital tumors that appear along the naso-optic groove between th...

Dermoid cysts are the developmental cysts that occur in the head and neck. The vast majority of dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth (DCFOMs) are located in the midline; which is the second most common site of these cysts in the head and neck region. This case report describes a unilateral dermoid cyst in the floor of the mouth in a 19 years old Saudi girl. This lesion appeared as a left sub...

Dermoid cysts are benign tumors that represent the simplest form of teratoma (1). Approximately 7% of dermoid cysts affect the head and neck region, and within this region, they are commonly found along the orbital walls(2). Orbital dermoid cysts occur most commonly along the lateral aspect of the orbit, in approximately 69% of cases. Intraorbital location is relatively rare for these lesions. ...
