Overview
Dermoid cysts are rare benign tumors. Spinal dermoid cysts commonly affect individuals in their second or third decades of life.[1] Males are more commonly affected with spinal dermoid cysts than females.[1] Dermoid cysts in other locations affect men and women equally. There is no racial predilection to the dermoid cysts.
