Giant Dermoid Cyst in the Nasal Bridge Region Developing Over 12 Years
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Conventional dermoid cysts are generally small, slow-growing, non-tender, dome-shaped lesions. Although dermoid cyst is congenital, this patient gives no history of swelling before 12 years. A dermoid cyst is usually asymptomatic until it is infected or enlarged to the extent that it causes damage to adjacent anatomical structures. However, very few cases of giant dermoid cysts on the nasal bridge have been reported. The present case reports an unusual giant dermoid cyst on the nasal bridge, which grew to a large size for >12 years without inflammation or rupture. The patient exhibited depression and developed social anxiety due to the negative cosmetic consequences of the large mass. The patient then underwent excision of the mass.
