Midline dermoid cyst of the upper lip: case report

• Koh S

Abstract

Midline craniofacial dermoids are rare lesions resulting from the abnormal fusion of embryologic structures. The clinical features of craniofacial dermoid cysts show a range of presentations, including infection, asymptomatic puncti, or seizure secondary to intracranial invasion. Appropriate management involves an accurate diagnosis of the dermoid cyst and a complete resection.
