“…Ultrasonography plays a crucial role in improving the precision of preoperative diagnoses, and it is an invaluable tool for examining epidermoid cysts before surgery 7,13 . Epidermoid cysts are predominantly ovoid in shape (80%), with lobulated formations being less common (19%), and tubular shapes being rare (1%) 14 . An ultrasound examination of an epidermoid cyst typically shows a well‐defined cyst without vascular hypoechoic substances in its lumen and with posterior ultrasound enhancement 14 .…”

“…14 An ultrasound examination of an epidermoid cyst typically shows a well-defined cyst without vascular hypoechoic substances in its lumen and with posterior ultrasound enhancement. 14 This appearance varies with the tissue composition and keratin content of the cyst. The presence of keratin and cholesterol deposits can create linear reflections within the cyst, whereas areas lacking keratin may display fissures or cyst-like spaces.…”

Retroperitoneal cysts (RPCs) are rare types of cyst in the retroperitoneal space that are frequently misdiagnosed as gynecological tumors. This case report details, an epidermoid RPC, identified through 2D ultrasound, with attempts to visualize its rendered images using 3D ultrasound. A 39‐year‐old female patient was admitted to the hospital following the detection of a pelvic mass during a routine physical examination. Initially, the lesion was suspected to be an ovarian tumor, but subsequent ultrasound investigations suggested an epidermoid RPC. This diagnosis was later confirmed by pelvic magnetic resonance imaging. The definitive diagnosis was made following laparoscopic exploration and pathological examination. This case is shared to analyze the ultrasound characteristics of epidermoid RPCs.

“…Rappaport and colleagues (2023) emphasized that in the case of superficial epidermoid localization the ultrasound technique can confirm the diagnosis. 24 Many authors tried to summarize the typical ultrasound pictures characteristic of both congenital epidermoids/dermoids and acquired epidermal cysts. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] And the presented ultrasound pictures of cysts differ significantly in different literature sources.…”

The congenital periorbital cysts like dermoids/epidermoids, in rare cases, can require not only its’ excision but also correction/camouflage of the caused bone deformity. This management can require virtual surgical planning, osteotomy, and placement of the custom-made patient implant. In this report, the ultrasonography (USG) was proved as a highly effective imaging for the presurgical verification of the mass’s structure and establishment of the clinical diagnosis. The multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT), even on a two-slice MSCT machine, provided high-quality three-dimensional reconstruction of the area of bone deformation caused by the cyst and allowed for accurate surgical planning. A 20-year-old male patient with a congenital periorbital epidermoid cyst that led to the deformation of the lateral orbital rim was treated using the soft tissue volume-increasing technique for the correction of bone deformation following cyst removal. Analysis of the terminological diversity related with dermoid/epidermoid cysts is presented. Early diagnostics and management of congenital periorbital cysts can decrease the visual, orbital, and esthetic complications, as well as the need to perform bone reconstructive surgeries or other corrective surgical procedures.
