A midline cystic lesion is seen above the level of the nose with central fat density, smooth wall and minimal underlying calvarial scalloping.
From the case:
Nasal dermoid
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/7566/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
Ultrasound of the lesion shows homogeneous hyperechoic content with no internal vascularity with color Doppler.
Case Discussion
Small midline nasal dermoid in a young child - note the fat density on CT distinguishing it from a nasal epidermoid.
