Summary:[LANGUAGE= "English"] Dermoid cysts are formed as a result of sequestration on the embryonic closure line of the skin. Dermoid cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of congenital midline cystic mass lesions. In this paper a thirteen year old boy with a congenital mass lesion at the suprasternal notch localization is presented. The mass was soft and nontender on palpation. The cyst was excised under general anesthesia after ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Histopathological examination diagnosed it as a dermoid cyst. Norecurrence was observed on ultrasonography. This case is presented because reports of this localization is rare in the literature.
