Overview
X rays may be helpful in the diagnosis of dermoid cysts. Findings on pelvic x ray suggestive of ovarian demoid cyst may include calcifications and tooth components.[1] On x-rays, dermoid cysts are characterized by a focal lucency due to the fatty sebum.[2] X rays may appear normal in other dermoid cysts.
X Ray
- X rays may be helpful in the diagnosis of dermoid cysts.
- On x-rays, dermoid cysts are characterized by a focal lucency due to the fatty sebum.[3]
- X rays may appear normal in smaller dermoid cysts.
