“…The presence of dermal appendages differentiates dermoid cysts from epidermoid cysts, and a lack of endoderm structures differentiates them from teratoid cysts. Often, the dermoid cyst lumen is filled with sebaceous material and keratin debris, with occasional hair [ 10 , 11 ].…”

“…Because our patient sought full excision of the lesion, FNAC was not done as it would not alter surgical management. Although some authors view FNAC as a useful tool in preoperative management of intraparotid dermoid cyst (Bushra et al [ 11 ], Baschinsky et al [ 15 ], Islam et al [ 17 ], and Hoffman et al [ 18 ]), others disagree. Our case, like other cases reported by Gonzalez-Perez et al [ 9 ], Dwivedi et al [ 12 ], and Shakeel et al [ 18 ], found that preoperative FNAC is unnecessary [ 18 ].…”

Objective:Rare disease Background:A dermoid cyst is a benign, epithelial-lined cavitary lesion composed of ectoderm and mesoderm that can arise anywhere in the body, with a tendency to develop in midline structures such as the coccyx and ovary. It is a rare entity in the head and neck region, where the incidence is 7% of all body dermoid cysts. Of these 7% (dermoid cysts found within the head and neck area), 80% are found localized to areas around the orbit, oral region, and nasal region. Within the parotid gland, they are extremely rare, with less than 25 cases reported in the existing literature. Case Report:We report a case of a 26-year-old woman with a long-standing left parotid mass that was found to be a dermoid cyst after surgical excision and histological evaluation. We examine the clinical presentation and imaging findings used to establish a presumptive diagnosis to guide treatment options. Although preoperative fine-needle aspiration was not performed in this case, it is often used to clarify the differential diagnosis before definitive surgical management is undertaken. Conclusions:Intraparotid dermoid cysts are rare, benign entities that require complete cystectomy for definitive management. As surgical excision is the only curative method, preoperative histopathological diagnosis via biopsy may be unnecessary. Our paper adds to the existing literature by presenting a case of an intraparotid dermoid cyst successfully treated surgically in a 26-year-old woman.

show abstract

“…There have been 20 case reports comprising 22 individual cases published to date. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] The otolaryngologist is often responsible for the surgical excision of these lesions due to their often inconclusive clinical and radiological characteristics. The objectives of this report are to describe the 23rd case of dermoid cyst found in the parotid gland as well as to review the current literature of these rare cases.…”
