Orbitofacial dermoids in the pediatric population represent a diverse group of lesions. Because of their variability in both clinical presentation and contiguous structure involvement, a thorough understanding of their surgical-pathologic anatomy is imperative. In this retrospective review of 84 lesions in 84 patients, we noted segregation of the lesions into three distinct subgroups: brow region dermoids, orbital region dermoids, and nasoglabellar dermoids. Further, we identified physical characteristics within each subgroup that appeared to direct diagnostic workup and subsequent surgical intervention. From this experience, a treatment algorithm was developed that gives the practitioner more precision in the management of these lesions.
