Medical Conditions - Dermoid Cyst

"Dermoid cysts, also known as teratomas, are common cysts present at birth. They appear when tissues collect under the skin. The cyst may contain hair follicles, fluid, bone, skin tissue, teeth, sweat glands, or nerves. The most common dermoid cysts are periorbital, spinal, and ovarian dermoid cysts. Most people with dermoid cysts do not have symptoms, but symptoms may develop once the cyst grows or become infected. Dermoid cysts are usually harmless, but they do not resolve on their own; they need surgery to remove them. "
