| Popis: |
Dermoid cysts are a rare case of developmental abnormality that results in benign tumors, which are classified into three categories based on their cause and appearance. Dermoid cysts tend to present within the first year after birth and are most commonly diagnosed by the age of 5. A 15-year-old girl presented with a complaint of localized, paroxysmal pain and malodorous fluid oozing from the left shoulder for the last 2 weeks. A fistulogram showed an extension of the fistula behind the clavicle and above the scapula with a cystic formation measuring ~2 cm on the upper part of the fistula tract, which called for appropriate surgical intervention. Our case is the first reported dermoid cyst in the left shoulder area associated with a fistula at birth, which is a rare complication since the complications of dermoid cysts differ depending on their location and size. |
