Overview
The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic. If left untreated, dermoid cysts gradually increase in size and produce symptoms depending upon their anatomical location. Common complications of ovarian dermoid cysts include torsion, rupture, and infection.[1][2] Common complications of periorbital dermoid cysts include inflammation and recurrence when not completely excised.[1] Rupture is the most common complication of spinal dermoid cysts.[1] Common complications of intracranial dermoid cysts include compression of adjacent structures from the mass effect and rupture of the cysts.[3][4] Infection is the most common complication of dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth.[5] Malignant transformation usually into squamous cell carcinoma is a rare complication of dermoid cysts.[6][2]
Natural History
The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic. If left untreated, dermoid cysts gradually increase in size and produce symptoms depending upon their anatomical location.
Complications
- Malignant transformation usually into squamous cell carcinoma is a rare complication of dermoid cysts.[6][2]
Ovarian Dermoid Cyst
- Common complications of ovarian dermoid cysts include:[1][2]
- Torsion
- Rupture
- Infection
- Malignant transformation, usually into squamous cell carcinoma (adults) or rarely into endodermal sinus tumours (children)
Periorbital Dermoid Cyst
- Common complications of periorbital dermoid cysts include:[1]
- Inflammation
- When a dermoid cyst is disrupted, it results in an inflammatory reaction.
- Recurrence when not completely excised
- Inflammation
Spinal Dermoid Cyst
- Rupture is the most common complication of spinal dermoid cysts.[1]
Intracranial Dermoid Cyst
- Common complications of intracranial dermoid cysts include:[3][4]
- Mass effect
- Compression of adjacent structures, e.g. optic chiasm
- Rupture (spontaneous, traumatic, or iatrogenic (at resection))
- Fat droplets from the ruptured cysts may disseminate into the subarachnoid space and ventricles which may result in the development of aseptic chemical meningitis
- Mass effect
Dermoid Cysts of the Floor of the Mouth
- Infection is the most common complication of dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth.[5]
