Dermoid - Dictionary Definition

Description:

A dermoid is an abnormal growth or development of skin tissues that can occur in various parts of the body, typically as a result of embryonic tissue becoming trapped during fetal development. Dermoids can contain a variety of tissues, including skin, hair follicles, sweat glands, and even teeth or bone. They are usually benign but may require surgical removal if they cause discomfort or pose a risk.
