Özet

Dermoid cysts are congenital lesions characterized by skin appendages and surrounding epithelial tissue with a well-defined cyst wall, accounting 40% of all pediatric lesions. The most common location is frontotemporal, orbital and nasoglabellar region. Diagnosis is based on physical examination and imaging in selected cases. Surgical excision is recommended as the preferred course of treatment. Presentation, classification, differential diagnosis, imaging methods and algorithms, surgical techniques and complications are discussed based on the recent literature.
