Abstract
Dermoid and epidermoid cysts masses in the head and neck region of chi ldren. Although the most common location of inclusion cysts in the hea d and neck is the bregma, masses in this region must be differentiated from midline hemangiomas, lipomas, hematomas, or encephaloceles. Incl usion cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all midline cystic lesions in infants, because, if left untreated, it may lead to devastating complications. We present the case of a slowly enl arging midline mass in a female infant to illustrate the potential for serious sequelae from inclusion cysts.
