A demioid cyst of the forehead is a relatively rare anomaly seen normally in the first few years of life. They are distinct to dermoid cysts located elsewhere in the body as there is a potential for extension to intracranial structures. Presentation in adulthood is rare and often because of a missed diagnosis in childhood. We present a case of a 51 year old male patient who presented with superficial dermoid cystin the forehead region. Direct excision at the frontal region with a traditional vertical incision was done with no evidence of extension intracranially.
