“…Rapid expansion and extension into the neck as early as in a 3-month neonate has been reported 7. Sudden blockage of the glands within the cyst, increased secretion of sebum during adolescence, trauma and seeding by oral flora are the commonly reported causes of infection 4 8. When cysts involve the submental region they can present as neck swelling or a double chin.…”

Sublingual dermoids are uncommon lesions in the floor of mouth. The most common age of presentation is early adulthood, but presentation in infancy has also been reported. This report highlights the clinical presentation and treatment challenges in infants. An 8-month-old infant presented with inability to close mouth, intermittent stertor and snoring. MRI suggested a sublingual dermoid which was confirmed on histopathology of the surgically enucleated specimen. Sublingual dermoids are uncommon lesions of the floor of mouth. The age of presentation of a sublingual dermoid depends on the initial size of the lesion. Large sublingual dermoids in neonates can present with respiratory embarrassment and need early surgical intervention. Surgical enucleation via an intraoral approach is the treatment of choice with external approach reserved for very large cysts below the mylohyoid. Large sublingual cysts can present with anaesthetic challenges and may need fibreoptic intubation.

“…Dermoid cyst of the oral cavity is either sublingual or submental and starts in the midline [1,6,11,12], may extend laterally and downward and can attain a large size before presentation [1,6,11,12]. However, there can be sudden increase in the size of these lesions and it can be due to the onset of puberty when there is an increase in the secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands [5], or may be due to secondary infection of the cyst contents either by blockage of salivary glands involved in the cyst or by implantation of oral microbials into the cyst through trauma causing pain, trismus, fever, dysphagia, odynophagia and cervical lymphadenopathy [6,13,14]. When they develop, they do not appear until they grow large enough or appear through infection.…”

“…The dermoid cysts of the mouth are most frequently located on the median line of the mouth floor, most likely caused by the retention of the germinal epithelium during the growth of the mandible and hyoid branchial arches and are considered rare [2,3,[5][6][7][8][9][10]. Although these lesions typically manifest during the second or third decade of life, however may present since birth with equal frequency of occurrence is both genders.…”

The dermoid cysts of the mouth are most frequently located on the median line of the mouth floor and are most likely caused by the retention of the germinal epithelium during the growth of the mandible and hyoid branchial arches. We report an unusual case of giant dermoid cyst of the floor of the mouth in a 17-year female who presented with progressively increasing swelling below her tongue and reviewed the relevant literature.

Dermoid cysts are uncommon, benign congenital lesions of ectodermal origin that can occur in any region of the body. They arise from epithelial rests during embryogenesis. nearly 7% occur in the head-neck region, and they represent less than 0.01 % of all cavity cysts. They are usually diagnosed during the 2nd and 3rd decade of life, and rarely present in children. a case of dermoid cyst in the sublingual region in a 4-year-old female child was presented. The floor of the mouth is the most common location in the oral cavity and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any midline lesion. Treatment is surgical excision.Key Words: Dermoid cyst, sublingual, Oral cavity, Child ÖZDermoid kistler ender, iyi huylu, konjenital, ektodermal kökenli lezyonlar olup, vücudun herhangi bir yerinde görülebilirler. Embriyogenez sırasında artık kalan epitelden köken alırlar. Baş-boyun bölgesinde yaklaşık görülme sıklığı %7' dir ve tüm oral kavite kistlerinin % 0,01'inden daha azını oluştururlar. Genellikle hayatın 2. ve 3. dekatında görülürken, çocuklarda enderdir. Burada 4 yaşındaki bir kız çocuğunda sublingual yerleşimli dermoid kist olgusu tartışıldı. Dermoid kistler oral kavitede en sık ağız tabanında görülürler ve orta hatta görülen lezyonların ayırıcı tanısında akılda tutulmalıdır. Tedavisi cerrahi eksizyondur.
