Summary:Introduction. Intracranial extension is rarely seen with craniofacial dermoid cysts, with few cases reported in the literature. Case Outline. We report a case of a 30-year-old woman who was initially seen with a subcutaneous mass of the frontotemporal region. The patient underwent a right craniotomy by a frontal approach.
