Abstract
We report a case of 37-year-old female patient presented with a history of a scalp swelling since birth. The swelling increased in size progressively. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed extracranial cystic lesion over the temporal bone with no intracranial extension. Cyst was excised completely with no postoperative complications. On histopathology it was dermoid cyst.

We report a case of 37-year-old female patient presented with temporal scalp swelling since birth
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed extracranial well-defined cystic swelling over the left temporal bone with no intracranial extension, measuring approximately 20 × 45 × 30 mm in transverse, anterior-posterior, and craniocaudal dimensions. It was cystic in appearance, with hyperintense signals on T2-weighted sequence, with no flow voids (Figure 1a) and hypointense signals on T1-weighted sequences (Figure 1b) showing no surrounding edema on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)
A soft, cystic, fluid filled lesion over temporal bone, which was densely adherent to underlying tissue (Figure 1d)
Summary
We report a case of 37-year-old female patient presented with temporal scalp swelling since birth. The swelling increased in size very slowly and progressively. There was a soft, fluid-filled lesion over the temporal bone, which was non tender and non pulsatile.
