Dermoid cysts are rare benign tumours, they represent the simplest form of teratoma. Approximately seven per cent affect the head and neck region, within this region they are frequently encountered in the area of the lateral eyebrow, the orbit and the nose. A case of a 17-year-old girl who developed a rapidly growing facial swelling due to an infratemporal fossa dermoid cyst is presented. A review of the literature using Medline has not revealed any previous reports of similar cases. The lesion was completely excised using a lateral approach to the infratemporal fossa.
皮样囊肿是罕见的良性肿瘤，是畸胎瘤的最简单形式。约7%发生于头颈部区域，在此区域内，常出现在外侧眉弓、眼眶及鼻部。本文报告1例17岁女孩，因颞下窝皮样囊肿导致面部迅速肿胀。通过医学在线数据库检索文献，未发现此前有类似病例的报道。采用颞下窝外侧入路将病变完整切除。
