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.
