Abstract

Adult nasal dermoid cysts and sinuses are rare. Here we describe the surgical management of a 37-year-old patient with a longstanding nasal dermoid cyst and discharging sinus. A combination of an open rhinoplasty approach with a small dorsal incision was used to excise the lesion followed by primary reconstruction with septal cartilage.
