| Summary: | The congenital inclusion dermoid cyst (CDIC) of the anterior fontanel is a benign, slow-growing lesion. Subgaleal location of dermoid cyst is extremely uncommon. We report a case of 14 year old female who had subgaleal dermoid cyst of the anterior fontanel where the cyst could be excised completely with good outcome. Computed tomography scan is the investigations of choice as it will show the greater details of the lesion and its relation to the underlying structures. Characteristic scalloping of the outer table of cranium on radiographs can help to differentiate intracranial extension from extracranial location of the lesion. |
