摘要
Background: Dermoid cysts are unusual neoplasms that often present in childhood and are usually located in the head and neck region. Objective and Method: We describe a rare case of a giant dermoid cyst of congenital inclusion type located at the lower extremity of a young male. Preoperative imaging studies were performed for evaluation of the mass. Result: The cyst was surgically removed, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusion: Dermoid cysts rarely appear in the lower extremity and must be included in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the lower limb.
