title: Dermoid cyst of the lateral neck: a case report and literature review.
abstract: Dermoid cysts of the lateral neck are rare, with the majority of head and neck dermoids occurring in the midline. The demonstration of a fat-fluid level on MRI or CT is diagnostic for a cervical dermoid cyst. The treatment of choice remains surgical excision.
