Sceptict11 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Dermoid ? Do you mean a Dermoid Cyst ? If so someone has clearly provided the diagnosis. Your question cannot be answered without knowledge of the cysts location . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yes, the location would determine the type of surgeon needed. It is not a difficult procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onvacation Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yes, the location would determine the type of surgeon needed. It is not a difficult procedure. The dermoid is on the eyebrow. I met with a surgeon in Bumrungrad, he said he has done a lot of similar surgeries but as with all surgeries there is always a risk. We did a ct scan doctors assured us that it is not cancerous. Our Dr friend in America though, said that a dermoid can become cancerous if not taken out. He suggested we take it out as soon as possible. We would like to get it done soon but not sure which hospital/doc to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The surgery is not difficult. The larger concern is to be in a hospital with a pediatric anethesiologist as the main risks are associated with the anesthesia. For the very best I would suggest Samitivej Childrens Hospital. http://www.samitivejhospitals.com/Children_Hospital/en and specifically this pediatric surgeon http://www.samitivejhospitals.com/DoctorProfile/PEDIATRICS_11931937/en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
