Abstract:
We present a case of a 39-year-old Japanese man with a two-year history of a mass in his suprasternal notch. Histopathologically the diagnosis was confirmed as a dermoid cyst; the cyst wall was almost normal with an epidermal structure consisting of sebaceous and apocrine glands and on the inside there were keratin materials and hair shafts. A dermoid cyst at the suprasternal notch is rare, and in an adult is the first as far as we know.
