MINIMAL INVASIVE EXCISION OF INTRAORBITAL DERMOID CYST

Minimal Invasive Excision of Intraorbital Dermoid Cyst

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. ...

Intra-parotid dermoid cyst: excision through a face lift incision.

Intra-parotid dermoid cysts are extremely rare. Clinically, they present like any other parotid lump and pre-operative diagnosis is rarely possible. A 62 years old Caucasian man presented with a painless lump in his right parotid region. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan revealed a 3 x 3 cm mass in the parotid tail. Cytological examination was unhelpful. The patient underwent successful...

Nasal Tip Dermoid Sinus Cyst Excision by Open Rhinoplasty Technique

Nasal dermoid sinus cysts (NDSCs) are uncommon midline developmental anomalies with an estimated incidence of 1:20,000 to 1:40,000 births.1,2 NDSCs are distinct from dermoids in other regions; they may have an intracranial extension, requiring careful interventional strategies. These lesions can be present anywhere in midline, as sinus or cyst, from glabella to columella, with glabella being th...
