Nasal dermoid cysts are congenital malformations which result from anomalous embryological development. Two cases occurring in siblings are presented. There have been several previous reports that the condition may be familial but in this report the initial suspicion of the milder anomaly in the younger child was raised primarily because of his older brother's history. This further report suggests that the incidence of familial occurrence of this anomaly may be greater than current literature suggests, and the possibility that other family members may be affected should be remembered by clinicians treating patients with this condition.
鼻皮样囊肿是先天性畸形，由胚胎发育异常所致。本文报告了发生在一对兄弟姐妹中的两例病例。此前已有多篇报道称该病可能具有家族性，但在本报告中，对年幼患儿较轻异常的最初怀疑主要是因其哥哥的病史引起的。这份进一步的报告表明，这种异常的家族发病率可能高于现有文献所提示的，治疗此类疾病患者的临床医生应谨记其他家庭成员也可能受影响的可能性。
