Dermoid cysts are benign tumors found throughout the body. They are either congenital or acquired. Derived from both ectoderm and mesoderm, they are often diagnosed in childhood. Dermoid cysts of the head and neck region account for less than 10% of all dermoid cysts. The most common locations of the cysts are the periorbital region and the neck. We expose the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with bilateral dermoid cysts of the upper lip. Only 1 case of unilateral dermoid cyst of the upper lip is referenced in the literature. Authors report the first case of bilateral dermoid cysts and discuss its possible origins.
皮样囊肿是一种在全身各处均可发现的良性肿瘤。它们可以是先天性的,也可以是后天获得的。皮样囊肿由外胚层和中胚层发育而来,常在儿童期被诊断出来。头颈部区域的皮样囊肿占所有皮样囊肿的比例不到10%。囊肿最常见的部位是眶周区域和颈部。我们报告一例47岁男性双侧上唇皮样囊肿的病例。文献中仅提及1例单侧上唇皮样囊肿。作者报告了首例双侧上唇皮样囊肿病例,并讨论了其可能的起源。
