Abstract: This retrospective analysis reviews nineteen cases of surgically treated dermoid cysts in the head and neck region between 2019 and 2024. The study highlights the clinical presentation, anatomical locations, imaging findings, surgical approaches, and complications associated with these congenital lesions. Most cases involved periaural and nasal regions, with MRI serving as a critical tool for preoperative planning. One notable recurrence underscored the importance of complete excision and accurate imaging. The findings emphasize early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary surgical approach to minimize recurrence and complications, particularly in pediatric patients.

Keywords: Dermoid cysts, head and neck lesions, paediatric surgery, MRI evaluation, craniofacial anomalies.
