Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: The term dermoid cyst describes a cystic lesion comprised of stratified squamous epithelium with epidermal appendages. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A dermoid cyst arising in the left lobe of the thyroid gland in a 35 year old female was managed with a left hemi–thyroidectomy. DISCUSSION: While congenital lesions feature frequently in the dierential diagnosis of childhood neck masses, dermoid cysts presenting as a unilateral neck mass are rare. Conclusion: When dermoid cysts found within the thyroid, their pathogenesis may be explained by a disruption of normal thyroid development. Excision appears the treatment of choice.
