Dermoid cysts of head and neck must be differentiated from the following:[1][2]
- Pilarcysts (trichilemmal cyst)
- Acquired,intradermal, and the most common site is scalp
- Cutaneous ectopic brain
- Steatocystoma multiplex
- Cystic hygroma
- Metastases (cutaneous or lymph nodal lesions)
- Pilonidal cyst
- Encephalocele (when dermoid cysts appear on the medial aspect of the orbit)
- Infectious process
- Ranula
- Lymphatic malformation
- Heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst
- Duplication foregut cyst
- Vascular leiomyoma of the extracranial scalp
=Ovarian Dermoid Cysts
- Ovarian dermoid cysts must be differentiated from the following:
- Haemorrhagic ovarian cyst
- Pedunculated lipoleiomyoma of the uterus
- Ovarian serous or mucinous cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma
