Dermoid cysts are congenital inclusion cysts that form during the neural tube closure between the third and fifth weeks of embryogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- Dermal sinus tracts (DSTs) are rare congenital lesions that pose risks of infection and neurological issues due to their connection between the skin and spinal cord, making surgical intervention recommended, though the timing for surgery in asymptomatic cases is uncertain.
- A retrospective review from 1998 to 2022 studied 52 patients who underwent DST excision and detethering, excluding those with pre-existing complications.
- Results indicated a median surgery age of 7 months, with complications in 8% of cases, and younger age at surgery was linked to higher risks of postoperative problems and continued neurological issues.
Congenital teratoma of the oral cavity - the largest personal series of cases.
Oral Maxillofac Surg
November 2024
Hospital de Clínicas, Federal University of Paraná and Assistance Center for Cleft Lip and Palate, Curitiba, Brazil.
Purpose: The objective of this study is to present the largest personal series of oral teratomas already published in English literature and discuss the diagnosis, neonatal management, and surgical treatment of this disorder.
Method: The study included patients treated by the senior author (RSF) between 2004 and 2023. Data were collected regarding prenatal evaluation, perinatal approach, surgical management, evolution, and treatment of secondary deformities.
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.
