title: Unusual pathology of colon: inclusion dermoid cyst.
abstract: Dermoid cysts are typically known to occur in the midline, near the lines of embryonic fusion, from trapped ectodermal tissue. They are very rare in the gastrointestinal tract, and only a few cases of dermoid cyst in the caecum and ileum have been reported in the literature. In our case, a dermoid cyst was found in the transverse colon, which has not been reported previously.
