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
