Abstract

A dermoid cyst is a teratoma which is composed of well differentiated parenchymal tissue and it usually develops from one or sometimes all of the germ cell layers [1]. Common sites of dermoid cysts are testis ovaries but can also be present in extra gonadal locations like cranium, mediastinum and retroperitoneum [2]. Dermoid cysts involving adrenal glands are very uncommon with the reported incidence of about 4% in literature [3,4].
