OBJECTIVE: To shed light on a unique presentation of duplication of the pituitary gland (DPG)-plus syndrome. METHODS: We present the case report gathered from the patient. RESULTS: This patient uniquely had DPG-plus syndrome with a concurrent dermoid cyst. CONCLUSION: DPG is a very rare developmental anomaly and there are not many case reports published in the literature. The presence of DPG with dermoid cyst in our patient has not been reported previously. This case report discusses the various presentations of the syndrome and also provides an overview of investigations and management of these patients.
