Abstract
Dermoid cysts are benign neoplasm that is derived from both ectoderm and mesoderm. They may be found at various sites of the body, but are extremely rare to occur in the lower neck. We present the case of a 22-year old woman with a midline cystic mass anterior to the cervical trachea. The mass was excised under local anesthesia. Histopathologically the diagnosis was confirmed as a dermoid cyst.
