Re: Dermoid Cyst

wow very interesting!
From the contents of the dermoid cyst i'd say that this was present since birth; instead of being developed post natal.
Apparently these cyst contain a kind of embryonic stem cell (multipotent cells) which would have normally developed into the different layers of the body and eventually skin hair bones etc.
