Congenital dermoid inclusion cyst (CDIC) over the anterior fontanel is a rare and benign tumor. This study reports nine Chinese cases (three females and six males) with CDIC over the anterior fontanel. The clinical manifestations and imaging were analyzed retrospectively. Surgical resection was undertaken in all cases. The diagnosis of CDIC over the anterior fontanel was confirmed by histological examination. The cysts were all noticed soon after birth and enlarged gradually. They were soft, nontender with a sessile base without inflammatory signs and breaking. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed soft tissue mass over the anterior fontanel without intracranial extensions. The histopathological examination displayed stratified squamous epithelium with skin appendages. There were no complications or recurrence after operation during a follow-up for one year. CDIC over the anterior fontanel is a benign tumor. Imaging is recommended preoperatively to aid differential diagnosis. The main management is total excision with good prognosis
