Abstract
- Dermoid cysts of the head and neck are rare lesions comprised of epidermal and mesodermal elements. Furthermore, dermoid cysts in the temporal bone are extremely rare. Only a few cases of dermoid cysts in the middle ear and mastoid have been reported but not yet in Korea. We report a 52-year-old male with a dermoid cyst in the left temporal bone who presented with chronic otitis media. This report describes the clinical and operative aspects of the case and provides a review of the literature.
