Congenital dermoid cyst

Dermoid cyst of the tongue: An association of dermoid cyst with bronchogenic epithelium

“…They occur in many sites, usually not in the midline (Giunta et al, 1982). Erich and Johnsen (1953) in a review of 1495 cases found that dermoid cysts of head and neck account for 6.9% of all dermoid cysts. A total of 23% of them are located in the floor of the mouth.…”

Management of congenital lingual dermoid cysts

“…Approximately 7% of all dermoid cysts occur in the head and neck [4], most commonly in the lateral third of the eyebrow [5]. Oral dermoid cysts account for 0.01% of all oral cysts and most commonly occur in the midline floor of mouth [6,7] However, the true incidence of oral dermoid cysts is not known due to the inclusion of epidermoid and teratoid varieties in many publications [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

An Unusual Presentation of a Lingual Dermoid Cyst

“…Fortytwo percent of dermoid cysts are found in the ovaries, with only 7% in the head and neck. 1 In the head and neck, dermoid cysts are most common in the periorbital region (50%), followed by the floor of mouth, submental and submaxillary regions (23%), frontal and neck regions (14%), and nasal regions (13%). 1 Dermoid cysts of the body of the tongue are rare, and only twenty one cases have been reported in literature, all in pediatric patients.…”

“…Approximately 7% of dermoid cysts occur in the head and neck and 1.6% occur in the oral cavity. 1 The floor of the mouth is the most common site involved in the mouth, but dermoid cysts have been reported in the tongue, lips, and buccal mucosa. 2 Histologically, Meyer divided cysts of the floor of mouth and tongue into three groups: epidermoid, dermoid, and teratoid.…”
