Cystic teratoma also called dermoid cyst, are congenital benign germinal tumors most commonly found in the ovaries and testes. Pancreatic localization is the least common site of presentation, which make its preoperative diagnosis even more challenging. Herein, we report the case of an 8-year-old girl who presented with abdominal pain localized in the epigastrum. The CT scan showed a well-defined heterogenous cystic mass in the head of the pancreas. At surgery, the entire mass was excised. The diagnosis of a dermoid cyst was then confirmed macroscopically and by histopathology. The main goal of our case report is to show the rarity of this entity and to make a quick review of the literature.
