ABSTRACT

Dermoid cyst is a benign neoplasm that is derived from both ectoderm and mesoderm. The majority of dermoid cysts are found in the ovaries and approximately 7% of dermoids are found in the head and neck, with more than 80% of these located in the orbit, oral cavity, or nasal cavity. Dermoids of the auricle are very rare case. We report a 24-year-old female with a dermoid cyst in the auricle. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2008;19:92–94)
