Abstract

Dermoid cysts are congenital lesions formed by the entrapment of ectodermal tissues along embryological closure lines. These cysts do not have direct etiologic causes and are not seen as typical in any race. Diagnostic evaluation typically includes ultrasound and computed tomography imaging to assess for complications. The mainstay treatment is surgical excision, which sometimes leads to unwanted scarring. We herein present a case of a glabellar dermoid cyst successfully treated using surgical suction.
