A facial medial dermoid cyst in a 7-year-old male child is presented along with its Computed tomography (CT) imaging scans. The CT scan images depict clear nasal bone indentation with no erosion. Dermoid cysts are a subset of benign heterotopic neoplasms termed choristomas and periorbital dermoid cysts account for up to 9-10% of paediatric of head and neck dermoid cysts. The periorbital dermoid may occur in two variants as per the plane of location: anterior (superficial) or deep. The presented case in this report is of anterior variety at frontonasal suture.
