ABSTRACT
Dermoid cysts are largely considered benign, developmental neoplasms that frequently present during childhood. Orbitofacial dermoids represent a unique group of embryologically derived soft tissue masses that often present as localized, well-circumscribed swellings along the embryonal suture lines. Clinical presentation is variable, but in rare instances, may be preceded by local trauma, possibly suggesting an inciting event as the initial stimulus to cyst enlargement. Although dermoid cysts tend to remain clinically benign, their natural history of gradual enlargement necessitates complete surgical excision to prevent complications.
