“…Sublingual epidermoid cysts are rare and represent approximately 0.01% of oral and maxillofacial cystic lesions. 4 , 5 The sublingual cyst can be histopathologically classified into three types. The first type, epidermoid cysts, is characterized by the presence of an epithelial lining without skin appendages.…”

Key Clinical MessageWhen treating a painless or asymptomatic mass in the submental or floor of the mouth, sublingual epidermoid cyst should be considered. Despite its irregularity, preventing malignant transformation is essential for a successful outcome.AbstractDermoid and epidermoid cysts are rarely found in the head and neck region. They account for less than 0.01% of all oral cavity cysts. This is a rare case of a sublingual epidermoid cyst of the oral cavity in a 25‐year‐old male. The patient presented with a painless sublingual swelling for a duration of 1 month. The clinical examination revealed a non‐tender swelling in the sublingual region extending to the submental triangle. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a 6.2 × 7.7 × 3.2 cm cystic lesion in the sublingual space. Fine needle aspiration cytology confirmed dermoid cyst contents. Intra‐oral surgical excision under general anesthesia was performed successfully. Histopathological analysis revealed that the cyst wall was lined by stratified squamous epithelium. The presence of a prominent granular layer and keratin flakes confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst. Postoperative recovery was good, and no recurrence was observed during follow‐up. This case emphasizes the infrequent and unusual presentation of a case of a giant plunging sublingual epidermoid cyst and promotes awareness and potential studies in the enhancement of patient care in this area.

“…Plunging ranula, recurrent sialadenitis, vascular or lymphatic malformation, and salivary gland tumor are all significant differential diagnoses. 7 Enucleation is the most common treatment for ECs. 8 Surgical access is determined by the lesion's size and location.…”

Epidermoid cysts are rare, slow-growing, benign, developmental cysts that are derived from abnormally situated ectodermal tissue. Epidermoid cysts may grow anywhere on the body and about 7% of them are located in the head and neck region. They are usually asymptomatic over years but can be symptomatic due to secondary changes or the growing size. Clinically, the lesion presents as a slow-growing asymptomatic mass, usually located in the midline, above or below the mylohyoid muscle. Surgical excision from the floor of the mouth is indicated to relieve symptoms and prevent possible infection. This swelling on the floor of the mouth can sometimes cause serious problems with difficulty for swallowing and speaking. The purpose of this report is to present a case of sublingual epidermoid cyst of the floor of the mouth.

La segunda teoría aboga por la inclusión congénita del quiste, que resulta del atrapamiento del epitelio durante la fusión del primer y segundo arco faríngeo, durante la tercera y cuarta semana de gestación 29 .…”

Los quistes epidermoides son lesiones quísticas benignas que se desarrollan de componentes epiteliales anormales de tejido ectodérmico formado durante el periodo fetal (congénito) o por epitelio implantado después de una cirugía o trauma (adquirido). El quiste epidermoide es considerado una lesión benigna que afecta la región del pericráneo, cara, cuello, espalda y torso, el 7% de estos quistes ocurren en la región de la cabeza y el cuello y solo el 1,6% representa la cavidad oral. A continuación, se presenta un caso clínico con diagnóstico histopatológico de quiste epidermoide en la región parotídea, el cual no presentó un compromiso del parénquima glandular, el cual fue tratado mediante escisión quirúrgica completa, sin alteración o daño al nervio facial, con seguimiento postoperatorio de tres años sin recidiva.
