Dermoid cyst is a benign formation that consists of dermis, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, epidermis and hair. The cause of the onset of the dermoid cyst lies in the intrauterine development. After all, if there is an incorrect fusion of tissues, the ectoderm bookmark is broken and some part of it is separated from the main mass.
Dermoid coccyx cyst
The dermoid coccyx cyst is a benign formation that forms when the elements of the embryonic sheets are shifted under the skin layer. In the process of its growth, the dermoid coccyx cyst leads to the fact that the coccyx deviates to the side, which leads to a number of unpleasant sensations. The dermoid coccyx cyst is located in the middle part of the interannual line and passes into the subcutaneous tissue of the coccyx. Often thus fistulas are formed, through which the contents of the given formation are allocated.
In uncomplicated form, the dermoid coccyx cyst develops almost asymptomatically. Only sometimes, after prolonged sedentary work, pain can arise. But if there are suppuration, it leads to an increase in temperature , the appearance of pains that are of a pulsating nature. It is extremely difficult to give slopes, sit-ups and even the usual sitting position.
Treatment of the dermoid coccyx cyst is only operative. As a result of the operation, fistulas, scars and an epithelial passage are cut out.
Dermoid cyst of the neck
The dermoid cyst of the neck is part of a group of congenital mature teratomas. Most often dermoid cysts of the neck are located in the area of the thyroid-lingual passage or in the hyoid area. Geneticists have proven that the dermoid cysts of the neck are formed even at the 5th week of embryo development , it is during this period that the tongue and thyroid gland are laid.
Detect the dermoid cyst of the neck can be almost immediately after birth. But if the formation is very small, then it can not be noticed because of infantile wrinkles. The dermoid cyst of the neck develops slowly, while the child does not have painful sensations. Pain can occur only as a result of the inflammatory process. Symptoms of inflammation of the dermoid cyst of the neck:
- difficulty in swallowing food;
- intermittent fumes.
As in other cases, treatment of the dermoid cyst of the neck is only prompt. Such intervention is usually carried out at the age of 5-6 years. At an earlier age, such an operation is done only in extreme cases, when the functions of breathing and swallowing are violated.
Dermoid cyst of the head
Congenital benign formations are most often formed just on the head. Typical locations of dermoid cysts are:
- corners of the eyes;
- upper eyelids;
- lips;
- ears;
- the nose bridge;
- area of superciliary arches;
- the back of the head;
- nasolabial folds;
- neck;
- the back of the head;
- the bottom of the oral cavity;
- submaxillary area;
- conjunctiva of the eye;
- eye socket;
- occasionally a cornea.
Dermoid cysts on the head, in particular on the face, like any other benign diseases, develop gradually. For many years, they may not even make themselves felt, without bringing any discomfort, except cosmetic. Functional disorders occur, as a rule, only with a cyst of the oral cavity. With the growth of such a cyst it becomes difficult to talk and eat.
Eliminate the data of education only surgically. Forecasts are favorable. Relapses are possible only when dermoid cysts are combined with other inflammatory or tumor processes. Or, if the dermoid cyst was not completely removed during the operation.
