A congenital cystic mass was detected at the suprasternal notch of a seven-month-old male infant. After radiologic examinations including ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, the cyst was excised and diagnosed as a dermoid cyst. Dermoid cysts of the head and neck are rare lesions, but a midline location is characteristic for these congenital masses. To our knowledge, only two reports have been published, which were similar to our case in localization. Dermoid cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis of midline cysts.
在一名7个月大男婴的胸骨上切迹处发现了一个先天性囊性肿物。经过包括超声、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像在内的放射学检查后，该囊肿被切除并诊断为皮样囊肿。头颈部的皮样囊肿是罕见的病变，但这些先天性肿物的特征是位于中线部位。据我们所知，仅有两篇类似我们病例定位的报道发表。皮样囊肿应列入中线囊肿的鉴别诊断范围。
