Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nasal dermoid cysts are rare neoplasms, which are diagnosed frequently in childhood. These lesions are derived from both ectoderm and mesoderm, and have keratinizing epithelium with skin appendages. A fistula, pit, or mass is the common clinical presentation. The diagnosis is primarily based on the medical history, physical examination, clinical symptoms, and radiologic findings. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. A 15-year-old boy presented with a fistula on the nasal vestibule, which existed from birth. Fistulography revealed a contrast-filling fistulous tract and cyst in the caudal portion of the nasal septum. The lesion was removed surgically and pathology confirmed the diagnosis of dermoid cyst. We report, with a review of the literature, a rare case of dermoid cyst that occurred from the nasal septum.
