Dermoid Cysts in Children

Zane F. Pollard M.D.1, Robison D. Harley M.D., F.A.C.S.1, and Joe Calhoun M.D.1

1 Department of Ophthalmology, St. Christopher's Children's Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsyleania

A retrospective study of dermoid cysts in children over the past 13 years at St. Christopher's Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, showed that 37% of the dermoids in the body occurred in the orbital and pen-orbital areas. An unusually high percentage of these occurred in the left eyebrow which appears to be the most frequent location for dermoid cysts in children. Dermoid cysts are a very common lesion encountered by ophthalmologists inasmuch as 3.3% of all ophthalmic surgical procedures in children were performed for dermoids. All 231 cases in this series were benign. The manner and time of presentation of these lesions are discussed as well as the treatment.
