Dermoid cysts (DCs) can occur anywhere in the body. However, DCs on neck or head are not common, which account for about 7% among all kinds of DCs and mostly occur in superficial areas. These cysts are hardly seen in the parotid gland. It is challenging to make accurate diagnosis before surgery because of its rarity and the ambiguous findings on radiology images. Based on a short review of the literature on DCs in the parotid gland, we discussed their clinical features and histopathological and radiological characteristics.
表皮样囊肿(DCs)可发生于身体的任何部位。然而,颈部或头部的 DCs 并不常见,约占所有 DCs 的 7%,且多发生于表浅部位。这些囊肿在腮腺中很少见。由于其罕见性和影像学表现不明确,术前很难做出准确诊断。通过对腮腺 DCs 文献的简短回顾,我们讨论了其临床特征、组织病理学和影像学特征。
