“…Given the rarity of this lesion, large case series are difficult to report. Three such series have been presented recently from tertiary referral institutions [2,6,12] discussing pathogenesis, investigation and management in children. A systematic review of the literature in 2004 found a total of 44 cases of NDCs in adults [4].…”

A dermoid cyst of the nose is a relatively rare anomaly seen normally in the first few years of life. They are distinct to dermoid cysts located elsewhere in the body as there is a potential for extension to intracranial structures. Presentation in adulthood is rare and often because of a missed diagnosis in childhood. We present the case of an adult man with a superficial nasal dermoid cyst presenting over the nasion. The operation was performed by direct excision at the nasion with a novel modified horizontal zigzag skin incision, instead of the traditional vertical excision, with a good cosmetic result. The cyst was radically excised and there was no evidence of extension intracranially. The case is discussed in relation to the current surgical literature in both children and adults.

“…Nasal dermoid (or dermal) sinus cyst (NDSC) includes all nasal lesions containing stratified squamous epithelium (ectoderm derivatives) and adnexal structures (mesoderm derivatives) [ 47 ]. It is the most common midline congenital nose lesion in children, followed by glioma and encephalocele [ 48 ]. NDSC is usually visible at birth or in early childhood.…”

“…NDSC is usually visible at birth or in early childhood. Familial cases and association with other congenital craniofacial anomalies have been described [ 48 – 50 ]. The non-compressible swelling is localised anywhere from the glabella to the columella, and is associated with a sinus opening with intermittent secretions of sebaceous material.…”

“…NDSC are, therefore, classified as superficial, intraosseous, intracranial extradural and intracranial intradural [ 49 , 50 ]. Complications include recurrent infections, meningitis and brain abscess [ 48 ].…”

“…Due to the vicinity of the crista galli to the foramen caecum, it is easy to confuse the high signal intensity of the crista galli on MRI with a dermoid cyst with intracranial extension [ 51 ]. The treatment of NDSC requires complete surgical excision, including any associated sinus tract [ 48 ].

Masses of developmental and genetic origin affecting the paediatric craniofacial skeleton

et al. 2018

Although rare, masses and mass-like lesions of developmental and genetic origin may affect the paediatric craniofacial skeleton. They represent a major challenge in clinical practice because they can lead to functional impairment, facial deformation and disfigurement. The most common lesions include fibrous dysplasia, dermoid cysts, vascular malformations and plexiform neurofibromas. Less common lesions include torus mandibularis and torus palatinus, cherubism, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, meningoencephalocele and nasal sinus tract. This article provides a comprehensive approach for the evaluation of children with masses or mass-like lesions of developmental and genetic origin affecting the craniofacial skeleton. Typical findings are illustrated and the respective roles of computed tomography (CT), cone beam CT (CBCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences and ultrasonography (US) are discussed for the pre-therapeutic assessment, complex treatment planning and post-treatment surveillance. Key imaging findings and characteristic clinical manifestations are reviewed. Pitfalls of image interpretation are addressed and how to avoid them.Teaching points • Masses of developmental and genetic origin may severely impair the craniofacial skeleton. • Although rare, these lesions have characteristic imaging features. • CT, MRI and ultrasonography play a key role in their work-up. • Recognition of pivotal imaging pearls and diagnostic pitfalls avoids interpretation errors.
