OBJECTIVECongenital dermoid cysts (CDCs) develop from the entrapment of the surface ectoderm along the lines of embryonic fusion and have a capacity to grow. Given this capacity for continual expansion, the timing of removal and anticipation of possible epidural extension is important.METHODSThe authors retrospectively reviewed records of patients with the diagnosis of dermoid cyst presenting over a period of 10 years. Baseline characteristics, histological reports, and surgical records were collected and analyzed. Only those patients with histological confirmation of dermoid cyst were included in the study.RESULTSOne hundred fifty-nine (64 male and 95 female) patients were studied. The average age at the time of surgery ranged from 1 month to 63 years (mean 3.55 ± 9.58 years, median 11 months). Eighteen (11.3%) CDCs were in the midline anterior fontanelle, 52 (32.7%) were frontozygomatic, 14 (8.8%) occurred along the coronal sutures, and 75 (47.2%) occurred along the lambdoid sutures. In 74 (46.5%) cases the cysts were found to insignificantly erode the cranium, 30 (18.9%) eroded through a partial thickness of the cranium, 47 (29.6%) eroded through the full thickness of the cranium, and 8 (5.0%) eroded through the full thickness of the cranium and demonstrated epidural extension. The study population showed female predominance (n = 95, 59.7%). Although cyst location and patient sex were not found to vary significantly with cranial involvement (p = 0.196 and p = 0.066, respectively), delay in time to surgery did vary significantly (p < 0.00001).CONCLUSIONSCongenital cranial dermoid cysts found in infants and children are best removed early.

First described in a publication by two Nigerian Neurosurgeons, Adeloye A and Odeku EL, in 1971, Adeloye-Odeku disease is a solitary congenital subgaleal inclusion dermoid cyst of the anterior fontanelle. This rare lesion, which makes up about 0.1-0.5% of all cranial tumours and 0.2% of all inclusion cysts, was initially thought to be found only in Africans. However, further reports have shown it to have a universal occurrence, as it has been reported in Caucasians, Chinese, Indians, and other part of the world. This lesion is also known as Congenital inclusion dermoid cyst (CIDS), is a benign slow-growing lesion, and if untreated, may persist to adult life. This article gives a highlight of the disease and its management and goes further to report 3 cases of this rare benign lesion seen in Irrua, South-South Nigeria, a rural, low-resource tertiary health institution. Incidentally and interestingly, all three cases presented within three consecutive months (January-March, 2019) at the neurosurgery outpatient clinic. Being uncomplicated cases, private and group counselling was done. The parents of the patients were much more reassured and relieved from their anxieties seeing others with similar problem. They were all worked up for surgery at different dates, had excision of the cysts with no complication and are currently being followed at the outpatient clinic.

AbstractTrue dermoid cysts of the oral cavity are rare, usually presenting as midline swellings in the floor of the mouth and occasionally elsewhere in the oral cavity. This report describes the diagnosis and management of a congenital dermoid cyst of the lateral aspect of the body of the tongue in a 10-year-old girl. The theories of the pathogenesis of this cyst during embryogenesis of the tongue are also reviewed.

Introduction: Dermoid cysts in the anterior fontanel are rare lesions, problems around 0.1–0.5% of all cranial tumors. It originated during the early stages of development and derived from embryonic epithelial tissue located along the midline. CT and NMR studies are of choice to rule out intracranial extension. They are diagnosed and treated with surgery in childhood. In this article, a review of the literature on this pathology is performed and a clinical case is reported in order to show the results of imaging studies in the Dermoid Cyst in childhood. Case Presentation: Four-month-old female infant with Dermoid Cyst in the Anterior Fontanelle, without neurological compromise who was once a surgery. The surgical piece affected uniform, encapsulated, mobile, soft lesion with clear content. The obstetric history, clinical data, physical examination, imaging and histopathological studies confirmed the diagnosis of Dermoid Cyst, the patient’s postoperative evolution is satisfactory, currently undergoing follow-up by Neuropediatrics. Conclusion: in simple pediatric patients with Dermoid Cyst in the anterior Fontanelle, simple Computerized Axial Skull Tomography is very useful for its diagnosis, as well as the performance of surgical treatment and postoperative follow- up for a favorable evolution and better prognosis. Keywords: dermoid cyst, anterior fontanelle, congenital inclusion cyst, case report. RESUMEN Introducción: La frecuencia de presentación del Quiste Dermoide en fontanela anterior es muy baja y se desarrollan en la etapa embrionaria de la vida en la que el tejido embrionario de la línea media dá lugar a su formación. Los estudios de TAC y RMN son de elección para descartar la extensión intracraneal. Se diagnostican y tratan con cirugía en la niñez. En este artículo se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre esta patología y se relata un caso clínico con el objetivo de mostrar los resultados de estudios imagenológicos en el Quiste Dermoide en la infancia. Presentación de Caso: Lactante femenina de cuatro meses con Quiste Dermoide de la fontanela anterior sin complicaciones fue intervenida quirúrgicamente. Se realizó excéresis de lesión blanda, encapsulada y movible. Los antecedentes obstétricos, datos clínicos, examen físico, estudios imagenológicos e histopatológico confirmaron el diagnóstico de Quiste tipo Dermoide, la evolución posoperatoria de la paciente es satisfactoria, actualmente en seguimiento por Neuropediatría. Conclusiones: En pacientes pediátricos con Quiste Dermoide en la Fontanela anterior es de gran utilidad la Tomografía Axial Computarizada simple de Cráneo para su diagnóstico, así como, la realización de un tratamiento quirúrgico y el seguimiento postoperatorio para una favorable evolución y mejor pronóstico. Palabras clave: quiste dermoide, fontanela anterior, quiste de inclusión congénita, informe de caso.
