<\/span><\/h2>\nA dermoid cyst is a choristoma, a <\/span>benign<\/span><\/span> <\/span>tumor<\/span><\/span> consisting of microscopically normal tissue derived from germ cell layers foreign to that body site<\/span>. In the skin, dermoid cysts are made up of epidermal<\/span> and dermal<\/span> components: keratinocytes<\/span>, hair<\/span> follicles<\/span> and hair and sweat glands. <\/p>\n\n<\/span>Dermoid cyst (in an unusual location)<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>Who gets dermoid cyst?<\/span><\/h2>\nDermoid cyst of the skin appears in early childhood, with about 40% present at birth and most appearing by the age of 5 years. The cyst develops during the development of skin tissue in the embryonic stage. They occur at fusion lines.<\/p>\n
Dermoid cysts in other parts of the body, such as inside the skull, spine, or abdominal cavity, particularly the ovaries, can occur at any time in people of all ages.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What are the clinical features of a dermoid cyst?<\/span><\/h2>\nDermoid cysts occur mainly on the face (outer eyebrow, <\/span>eyelid, upper nose), neck or scalp but they can occur anywhere in the body<\/span>. The cyst is usually a solitary, firm, mass-like lump and is 0.5 to 6 cm in diameter. May be associated with a nearby well and\/or breast<\/span> tract to the underlying tissues.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>How is dermoid cyst diagnosed?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nA dermoid cyst is diagnosed by its typical clinical appearance and typical pathology<\/span> in biopsy<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Was it the dermoid cyst treatment?<\/span><\/h2>\nA dermoid cyst is usually surgically removed using excision<\/span> biopsy. Before surgery, it can be investigated with ultrasound<\/span> scan to determine the extent of underlying tissue involvement. If there is a sinus tract nearby, this is often explored using a sinogram.<\/p>\nDermoid cysts in other parts of the body, such as intracranial<\/span> cysts, intraspinal cysts, intra-abdominal cysts and cystic<\/span> Ovarian tumors can be difficult to treat and require special surgical techniques to remove the tumor. injury<\/span> and prevent possible complications.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00bfQu\u00e9 es un dermoide? quiste?
