- We describe a case of a dermoid cyst involving the lateral aspect of orbit of an adult treated at our ABSMIDS , and we review the literature on dermoid cysts. A 19-year-old man presented with right-sided supraorbital swelling.USG and magnetic resonance imaging scans were preformed. Although a definitive diagnosis was unclear, the imaging findings were consistent with a dermoid cyst. The lesion was excised through an lateral brow incision. Dermoid cysts of the orbit are uncommon lesions that occur primarily in the pediatric population. In adults, orbital dermoids are more likely to present with bone erosion, and therefore they should be considered in the differential diagnosis for orbital and frontal bone lesions extending into the frontal sinus.
