  METHODS
  Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Seoul National University Hospital, Korea.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 22-year-old woman with a 5-year history of a slowly growing suprapubic mass, which had begun to bleed intermittently 6 months before presentation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Complete excision of the suprapubic mass and primary closure of the wound.
  
  
  METHODS
  The natural course of the suprapubic dermoid cyst and histologic findings.
