Dermolipoma: characteristic CT appearance.
Dermolipomas are choristomas usually located at the external canthus. Clinically they can be confused with dermoid cysts. Preoperative diagnosis of a dermolipoma is important because the surgical approach is less aggressive than for dermoid cysts. We describe the clinical aspects of ten patients with a dermolipoma and demonstrate the posterior extension of these lesions by CT.
