Overview
Differential Diagnosis
Head and Neck
Dermoid cysts of head and neck must be differentiated from the following:[1][2]
- Pilarcysts (trichilemmal cyst)
- Acquired,intradermal
- Scalp is the most common site
- Steatocystoma multiplex
- Pilomatrixoma
- Metastases (cutaneous or lymph nodal lesions)
- Cutaneous ectopic brain
- Encephalocele (when dermoid cysts appear on the medial aspect of the orbit)
- Ranula
- Lymphatic malformation
- 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
Others
Dermoid cysts must also be differentiated from the following:[3]
- Pilonidal cyst
- craniopharyngioma
- Immature teratoma
- Lipoma
