Overview

Dermoid cyst must be differentiated from teratoma, as well as other common benign tumors that develop in the head and neck, ovaries, or spine (such as pilar cysts, steatocystoma, pilomatrixoma, encephalocele, vascular malformations, lipoleiomyoma, pilonidal cyst, and lipoma).

Differential Diagnosis

Dermoid cyst must be differentiated from the following:

Head and Neck

Dermoid cysts of head and neck must be differentiated from the following:[1][2]
