A Rare Case of a Dermoid Cyst in the Right Temporal Region of the Head: A Case Report and Literature Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Dermoid cyst is a tumour mass that is often encountered in daily clinical practice. Histological examination showed a layer of keratinized squamous epithelium. Dermoid cysts in the craniofacial region comprise about 7 percent of all dermoids. This case report will review a 21-year-old patient with a right temporal dermoid cyst.Case report: A 21-year-old man came to the emergency department of Bendan Hospital, complaining of a lump on the right side of his head, the lump had been there since the patient was child, then it grew. Non-contrast CT scan of the head showing the impression of a lipoma on the scalp of the right occipital region. When the patient underwent excision of the tumour and histopathological examination of the tissue was performed, the result was a dermoid cyst.Discussion: Dermoid cyst is known as a benign congenital tumour that grows early. Research prefers to use a direct approach to the patient, given that proper scar management is part of the follow-up Conclusion: Dermoid cysts have until recently been considered a congenital lesion, but not all of them can be diagnosed at birth.
