AP and lateral plain films showing a metallic foreign body in the upper esophagus. Most foreign bodies are found at the level of the cricopharyngeus muscle.
This dermoid cyst was a painless, superficial, soft mass of the face, not attached to the body of the mandible. It had been slowly growing for about ten years.
The dermoid cyst was excised while monitoring the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve.
