Calvarial bone destruction secondary to dermoid cyst with squamous cell carcinoma transformation: A rare case report

2026-05-03T06:52:40+00:00

Dermoid cysts are congenital, benign lesions that originate from ectodermal inclusions during embryogenesis and are most often encountered in the scalp and intracranial regions. While their clinical course is generally indolent, malignant transformation is an exceptionally rare phenomenon, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being the most frequently reported histologic subtype. Such transformation is clinically significant, as it alters the otherwise benign natural history of dermoid cysts into a locally aggressive neoplasm capable of extensive tissue invasion. We report a rare case of a dermoid cyst undergoing malignant degeneration into SCC with associated calvarial bone destruction. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical clinical presentations and radiologic findings that may suggest malignant change. The clinical manifestations, radiographic characteristics, surgical approach, histopathological confirmation, and postoperative course are presented, followed by a review of the relevant literature to contextualize this uncommon entity and its therapeutic implications.

Background: Breastfeeding is an unbeatable way of providing the ideal nourishment for the healthy growth and development of a baby. Breastfeeding is not always able to run normally, not a few mothers complain of swelling of the breasts, hardness, pain and heat caused by breast milk dams. At the time the researchers conducted the initial survey of 20 postpartum mothers, there were 7 people who experienced breast milk dams. Objective: Factors associated with breast milk retention include family support, frequency of breastfeeding, breast care, breastfeeding position and parity. The research objective was to determine the factors associated with breast milk dams during the postpartum period at the jawa maraja community Health Center. Research Methods: The design of this study used an analytic survey with a cross sectional approach. The population as many as 30 postpartum mothers on day 3 to day 40. The sample in this study was taken using accidental sampling, namely the technique of determining the sample based on chance. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square statistical test. Research Results: The results of the study were based on poor family support as many as 20 respondents (66.7%), 17 respondents (56.7%) had poor breastfeeding frequency (56.7%), 18 respondents (60.0%) had poor breastfeeding, and 18 respondents (60.0%) had poor breastfeeding position. 15 respondents (50.0%), and 18 respondents (60.0%) primiparous parity, 16 respondents (53.3%) had breastfeeding dams with the results of the chi-square test on the family support variable (p value = .0001), breastfeeding frequency (p value = .0001), breast care (p value = .0000), breastfeeding position (p value = .0001) and parity (p value = .0004). Conclusion: The conclusion of this study shows that there is a relationship between family support, breastfeeding frequency, breast care, breastfeeding position and parity with breast milk dams during the postpartum period at the jawa maraja community Health Center . It is recommended that research sites find out about the correct breastfeeding position and the frequency of breastfeeding optimal in order to avoid dam ASI.
