ABSTRACT
The dermoid cyst is a type of choristoma resulting from congenital development
anomaly. A 2-year transitional dermoid cyst from birth was discovered by the mother
when she noticed increased volume at the tail of the right eyebrow, defined edges,
soft, movable, free orbital rim, no color changes with rapid clinical and
ultrasonographic growth in months. It was decided to perform excision and biopsy for
the pathological study. The final results showed confirmation of the diagnosis of
dermoid cyst in tail of the eyebrow. The postoperative course was satisfactory without
recurrent injure.
