Large Dermoid Cyst Masquerading as a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst
Dermoid cysts are rare, benign congenital tumors that develop due to abnormal fusion of ectodermal and mesodermal cell lines. On histology, these growths are lined by stratified squamous epithelial cells and typically contain adnexal structures including sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and hair follicles, which can help distinguish them from epidermoid cysts.
