title: [Dermoid cysts: epidemiological, clinical and pathological studies].
abstract: We retrospectively analyzed 31 cases of dermoid cysts surgically treated between January 1992 and October 2000. Mean patient age was 18.9 years. The preseptal localization predominated, with 29 cases. Two cases of intraorbital localization required orbitotomy. The surgical result was excellent.
