Abstract
Nasal dermoid cysts are rare congenital defect resulting from an abnormality in embryonic development. They are usually located along the fusion line of the germ layers. When present superficially, nasal dermoid cysts are easy to detect and appear as firm, non-pulsating, slow-growing masses. The treatment of choice is complete surgical removal, regardless of their size. In any case, computed tomography (CT) should be performed before surgical treatment to exclude a possible intracranial connection. We present two cases of patients admitted to the hospital for the removal of nasal dermoid cyst. The performed CT examinations excluded the presence of communication with the cranial cavity. No postsurgical complications were observed. Postoperative histopathological examinations confirmed the diagnosis of dermatoid cysts.
