Overview
Dermoid cyst arises from the ectodermal and are generally formed of skin, hair follicles, teeth and sebaceous glands.[1] On gross pathology, uniloculated cysts lined by skin, containing sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and teeth are characteristic findings of dermoid cysts.[1] On microscopic histopathological analysis, fibro collagenous cysts lined by stratified squamous epithelium, with epidermal appendages such as hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands are characteristic findings of dermoid cysts.[2][3]
Pathogenesis
- Dermoid cyst arises from the ectoderm and are generally formed of skin, hair follicles, teeth and sebaceous glands.[1]
- Dermoid cysts occur in the embryonic lines of fusion. The majority of cases are reported in the midline of the body, particularly in the ovaries and testis.[4]
Ovarian Dermoid Cysts
Spinal Dermoid Cysts
- Spinal dermoid cysts arise from the embryonal ectodermal cells that are arrested within the spinal canal at the time of neural tube closure during development. [3]
- Spinal dermoid cysts are usually located in the lumbosacral region (60%) and rarely located in the upper thoracic (10%) and cervical regions (5%).[5]
Intracranial Dermoid Cysts
- Intracranial dermoid cysts are usually located in the midline, although they can occur on any side.
- The most common locations include:
- Posterior fossa / vermis
- Suprasellar/subfrontal
Dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth
- The pathogenesis of dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth is hypothesized into the following three theories:[4]
- Dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth arise from the entrapped embryonic cells in the third or fourth week of embryonic life during the midline fusion of the first and second branchial arches.
- The second theory is that the acquired cysts may result from iatrogenic or traumatic implantation of the epithelial cells that subsequently grow.
- The last theory is that the cysts of the floor of the mouth are a thyroglossal anomaly with predominantly ectodermal components.
Gross pathology
- On gross pathology, uniloculated cysts lined by skin, containing sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and teeth are characteristic findings of dermoid cysts.[1]

Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, fibro collagenous cysts lined by stratified squamous epithelium, with epidermal appendages such as hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands are characteristic findings of dermoid cysts.[7][3]
