Midline dermoid cysts, although rare, typically present as nasal or glabellar masses with potential sinus tract extension to the skin or to the central nervous system. Craniofacial dermoid cysts present in varied ways, including asymptomatic puncti, infection, or seizure secondary to intracranial invasion. This article describes the previously unreported occurrence of a midline dermoid within the labial frenulum diagnosed on surgical excision of the cyst and its orocutaneous sinus tract, which extended to the skin at the base of the columella.

Objectives: Midline nasal masses are rare and challenging for surgeons. This study examined the site with the highest risk of recurrence following midline nasal mass excisions.
Methods: Surgical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed following excision of midline nasal masses between 2010 and 2022 in the predominantly pediatric patient cohort.
Nasoethmoidal dermoid cysts are rare congenital ectodermal malformations. Unlike other dermoid cysts, those located in the midline can exhibit intracranial extension. Clinically, they may manifest with sebaceous discharge through a fistulous orifice and other morphologic alterations, occasionally presenting with complications at the onset.

Dermoid cysts (DCs) are benign congenital lesions that originate in the ectoderm cells produced during the formation of the neural tube. They are usually located at the cerebral midline, and, on rare occasions, at the suprasellar level. In this case report, we present a 17-year-old female patient with minimal symptoms (hyposmia) caused by a suprasellar dermoid cyst extending toward the anterior cranial fossa and the olfactory nerves with subsequent frontotemporal craniotomy and the subtotal removal of the tumor.
