Dermoid cysts are benign tumors that can be found anywhere in the body. There is no clear data yet in Indonesia regarding dermoid cysts. In the spine, these tumors generally occur in the lumbar region and are often accompanied by congenital spinal dysrafism and/or dermal sinus passages. Dermoid cysts arise from abnormal growth of the ectodermal folds during pregnancy, with an incidence of 0.7 – 1.8% of all central nervous system tumors. This case report aims to highlight the role of diagnostics and evaluate the surgical outcome. A 47-year-old female patient presented with a 20 x 18 x 16 cm lump in the sacrococcygeal area, with a mixed solid and soft consistency. MRI images showed a hypo and hyperintense mass without spinal deformity. The patient was discharged on the 2nd day post-tumor removal without complications. In conclusion, extraspinal dermoid cyst is a rare case that requires specialized diagnostic and surgical modalities to achieve optimal clinical results.

Extraspinal dermoid cysts are a rare occurrence and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sacrococcygeal masses.These conditions necessitate specific diagnostic and surgical approaches to ensure favorable clinical outcomes.Complete surgical resection can lead to long-term survival without complications, emphasizing the importance of early detection.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor risiko spesifik yang berkontribusi terhadap pembentukan kista dermoid ekstraspinal pada dewasa, mengingat kasus ini relatif jarang terjadi. Studi prospektif dengan jumlah pasien yang lebih besar diperlukan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas berbagai teknik pencitraan dalam diagnosis dini dan karakterisasi kista dermoid, termasuk peran pencitraan resonansi magnetik (MRI) dengan protokol khusus. Selain itu, penelitian yang berfokus pada pengembangan strategi bedah minimal invasif untuk reseksi kista dermoid, seperti pendekatan robotik atau endoskopi, dapat mengurangi morbiditas dan mempercepat pemulihan pasien, serta studi jangka panjang diperlukan untuk memantau potensi transformasi maligna dari kista dermoid yang direseksi dan untuk mengoptimalkan protokol tindak lanjut.
