Post-auricular dermoid cyst with intracranial extension—A rare finding

Summary 

Dermoid cysts are rare soft tissue tumours which usually present at birth. Intracranial extension is a rare occurrence but has been described in temporal, nasal and scalp lesions. However, to date there has been no report in the literature of a post-auricular dermoid cyst with intracranial extension. We report such a case in a 12-year-old male.
