Abstract
An unusual type of dermoid cyst was reported in 10 African infants. In these cases a soft, cystic mass located over the anterior fontanel was noted shortly after birth which gradually enlarged. The cyst had no intracranial extension and was easily excised intact. The clinical and X-ray findings of the cyst were described and compared with the usual dermoids. The histology and contents of the cyst were detailed and some peculiarities of this lesion pointed out.
