Overview

Congenital dermoid cysts localized to the scalp, neck or trunk are usually visible at birth and gradually grow in size. The majority of patients with ovarian dermoid cysts are asymptomatic. They are discovered incidentally on routine physical exam or imaging for other reasons.[1] Large ovarian dermoid cysts may present with abdominal pain or abdominal mass.[2] Symptoms of spinal dermoid cyst may include motor disturbances (hemiplegia), sensory disturbances, bowel and/or bladder dysfunction, fecal retention or incontinence, and urinary retention or incontinence. Headache is the most prominent symptom of intracranial dermoid cyst.[3] Symptoms of dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth may include dysphagia, dysarthria, dyspnea (when the lesions are quiet large), and speech delay.[4]

History

  • Congenital dermoid cysts localized to the scalp, neck or trunk are usually visible at birth and gradually grow in size.
  • The majority of patients with ovarian dermoid cysts are asymptomatic.[5]
  • Dermoid cysts are discovered incidentally on routine physical exam or imaging for other reasons.[1]

Symptoms

Ovarian Dermoid Cyst

  • Ovarian dermoid cysts may present with:[1]
    • Abdominal pain
    • Abdominal mass
  • Large dermoid cysts that may predispose to ovarian torsion may present with acute pelvic pain.[2]
  • Less common symptoms of ovarian dermoid cysts may include bowel and bladder disturbances and backache.[6][1]

Spinal Dermoid Cyst

  • Spinal dermoid cysts most commonly involve the lumbosacral region than the thoracic vertebrae and are extramedullary in location.[5]
  • Symptoms of spinal dermoid cyst may include:[7][8]
  • Spinal dermoid cysts complicated by rupture may present with the following:[9]
    • Headache
    • Nausea, vomiting
    • Vertigo
    • Vision problems
    • Mental changes

Intracranial Dermoid Cyst

  • Headache is the most prominent symptom of intracranial dermoid cyst.[10]
  • Less common symptoms of intracranial dermoid cysts include:
    • Seizures
    • Focal neurological deficits
      • Motor disturbances
      • Sensory deficits
