Overview

X rays may be helpful in the diagnosis of cyst. Findings on pelvic x ray suggestive of ovarian demoid cyst may include calcifications and tooth components.[1] On x-rays, dermoid cysts are characterized by a focal lucency due to the fatty sebum.[2]. X rays may appear normal in other dermoid cysts.

X Ray

  • On x-rays, dermoid cysts are characterized by a focal lucency due to the fatty sebum.[3]

Ovarian Dermoid Cyst

  • Findings on pelvic x ray suggestive of ovarian demoid cyst may include:[1]
    • Calcifications
    • Tooth components

Gallery

  • Lucency in the pelvis with a calcific density (more or less tooth-shaped) at the periphery (arrow). This is classical of a dermoid cyst with tooth. [4]
