Özet

Purpose of the study: Dermoid cysts are cysts are asymptomatic, slowly expanding, unilocular, cystic congenital masses. They are rare congenital benign tumors in head and neck region, with only less than 7 percent of all dermoids presenting in this area. Half of head and neck dermoids have been located in the orbit and no lesion has been specifically identified in the preauricular region. With this report, we aimed to describe that dermoid cysts can be seen unexpected localization such as in preauricular region.
