A case of a sublingual dermoid cyst in a 6‐year‐old child

“…To our knowledge, 33 cases of dermoid cysts of the oral floor have been described in the literature for the last decade. The ratio of males to females was 1.5:1 (20:13) and the average age was 20.1 years (5 months‐66 years) . The age of the current patient was inconsistent with that reported previously.…”

Epidermoid Cyst Arising in the Buccal Mucosa: Case Report and Literature Review

“…Dvije su vrste epidermoidnih cista -kongenitalne i stečene (3,4,20). Kongenitalne nastaju u bilo kojem trenutku razvoja organizma tijekom spajanja kada je ektoderm uključen u liniju spajanja tijela za vrijeme embriogeneze.…”

“…There are two types of epidermoid cysts: the congenital and the acquired ones (3,4,20). The congenital type develops at any point of fusion in the development of the body where the ectodermal tissue becomes included in the line of fusion of the body during the embryonic process.…”

“…When there is an absence of these skin appendages, the cysts are classified as epidermoid or epidermal cysts. They are not related to the dermoid cysts of the gonads, which are denominated as teratomas (1)(2)(3)(4).…”

Dermoid cyst located in the floor of the mouth: case report

“…[1][2][3][4] The most accepted etiology refers to the imprisonment of embryonic cells of 1st and 2nd branchial arches in the mesenchyme region, during the 3rd and 4th week of embryonic life. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] According to statistics, about 1.6% of dermoid cysts are found in the buccal cavity 2,3 , the floor of the mouth being the preferred location of this cyst, [1][2][3][4] but it can also be found in other regions, such as on the side of the tongue, lips and jugal mucosa. [1][2][3]7 The cyst does not have predilection for sex 1,6,7 and it is more common in adults [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and children.…”
