Dermoid Cyst is a type of an ovarian cyst. But what sets it apart from a common cyst? To give you an idea, this is a kind of cystic teratoma (a tumor with tissue and organ) that contains a mixture of mature skin complete with hair follicles and sweat glands, sometimes abundant clumps of long hair, and often pockets of sebum, blood, fat, bone, nails, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue. Since it contains developed tissue, a dermoid cyst is almost always benign meaning harmless or non-malignant. However about 1 to 2 percent are cancerous. This type of cyst can be detected during a pelvic exam. This can occur at the ages of 20 to 40 among women. When dermoid cysts cut off the circulation to ovaries, they cause intense pain. This type of cyst can also be found on the face, scalp or neck and is usually present and detectable from birth. Dermoid cysts in the ovary obviously appear only in women. Its removal does not affect a woman's fertility nor does it have any complications during a pregnancy. The most common indication of a dermoid cyst is abdominal and pelvic pain. The cyst can become very large and can result in terrible pain by causing the ovaries to twist or rapture. Normally, your physician would advise you to have the cyst surgically removed. Marsupialization, a surgical technique often used to treat pilonidal cyst, is unsuitable for dermoid cyst due to the risk of malignancy. Having the signs and symptoms of having an ovarian cyst should never be taken for granted. It is mentioned that most of the cysts are not harmful but keep in mind that prevention is always better than cure. It will not hurt to go to your doctor to seek professional help. Before you undergo surgery, it is important to check for other available options or second opinion. Surgery will remove the cyst but is it the only alternative we have at this day and age?
