A nasal dermoid cyst is a type of congenital cyst that is present at birth. It is a benign (non-cancerous) growth that is made up of skin and other tissues, such as sweat glands, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands. It is usually located in the midline of the nose, between the eyes. Nasal dermoid cysts can be asymptomatic, but they can also cause nasal obstruction, sinusitis, and facial deformity. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the cyst.

The most common symptom of a nasal dermoid cyst is a visible lump or bump on the nose. Other symptoms may include:

-Nasal obstruction or difficulty breathing through the nose

-Nasal discharge

-Foul-smelling discharge

-Facial Pain or pressure

-Headache

-Fever

-Nasal congestion

-Sinus infection

-Swelling of the face or neck

-Coughing

-Sore throat

-Loss of smell or taste

Nasal dermoid cysts are congenital, meaning they are present at birth. They are caused by a failure of the embryonic cells to migrate properly during fetal development. This results in the formation of a cyst containing skin, hair, and other tissues.

The treatment for a nasal dermoid cyst is typically surgical removal. Depending on the size and location of the cyst, the surgery may be done under local or general anesthesia. The cyst is typically removed through an incision in the nose, and the entire cyst is removed to prevent recurrence. In some cases, the cyst may be removed through the mouth. After the cyst is removed, the area is typically closed with sutures.

1. Genetic predisposition
2. Congenital malformations
3. Exposure to radiation
4. Trauma to the face or head
5. Chronic sinus infections
6. Abnormalities in the development of the nose or sinuses

Nasal dermoid cysts are usually treated with surgery. Depending on the size and location of the cyst, the surgeon may remove the cyst through the nose or through an incision in the face. Medications are not typically used to treat nasal dermoid cysts.
