“…The significance of FNAC for preoperative diagnosis was highlighted in some reports [9][10][11][12]. Similarly, Cramer et al [40] recommended FNAC for DCs in the mouth floor as the first-choice diagnostic procedure. But some authors did not consider the FNAC as a definitive diagnostic modality [16,19].…”

Dermoid cysts (DCs)are benign lesions and histologically composed of tissues originating from ectoderm and mesoderm, but not endoderm. Approximately 7 % of all DCs are seen in head and neck area. However, parotid gland is an extremely rare localization in which DCs develop, and only 17 cases have been reported in the literature to date. Correct preoperative diagnosis is difficult to be established due to the rarity and ambiguous radiological findings. We report a case of a 21-year old man. All previous reports reviewed and the pathogenesis as well as the histopathologic and radiologic features are discussed.

“…The use of plain radiographs or orthopantomogram may not be so useful unless a radiopaque medium is injected into the lesion [10]. Cramer et al [11] advocate the use of Fine Needle Aspiration biopsy (FNA) as the first choice of procedure for the clinical diagnosis of dermoid cyst. We relied on the use of simple needle aspiration and clinical judgment for the provisional diagnosis because of a lack of modern diagnostic equipment.…”

“…General anaesthesia is usually the anaesthetic method of choice employed in the treatment of this lesion, which makes literature on the use of local anaesthesia in surgery on dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth rare [7][8][9]. In regard to the surgical procedure, the intra-oral approach is suggested [5,6,8,[10][11][12]. These authors are of the opinion that with this technique it is possible to obtain adequate surgical access in cases of very large dermoid cysts involving simultaneously the floor of the mouth and the submental space.…”

Objective The purpose of this article is to highlight the effectiveness of local anaesthesia in the surgical excision of intral-oral dermoid cyst in the absence of available modern and efficient general anaesthetic options as experienced in our environment.Patients and methods A retrospective review of nine patients with intra-oral dermoid cysts seen at the oral and maxillofacial surgery units of three specialist hospitals in eastern Nigeria was carried out between 1996 and 2007. We used simple clinical findings and the aspiration technique for our provisional diagnosis and treated our patients by using local anaesthesia, which contains 2% lignocaine hydrochloride in 1: 80,000 adrenaline. Results Out of the nine cases seen, the male-to-female ratio was 2:1, representing six male and three female. The age range was 13-22 years, with a mean age of 19 years. The use of local anaesthesia was uneventful and despite the limited options of treatment and the absence of advanced imaging techniques we achieved total success and good results in all nine patients. Conclusion The anaesthetic difficulties and uncertainties associated with the management of intral-oral dermoid cysts especially in an environment that lack modern general anaesthetic options can be avoided by the use of local anaesthesia. This may, therefore, be an effective alternative to difficult and sometime expensive general anaesthetic methods used in developed countries and could be emulated by oral and maxillofacial surgeons in poorer countries.

“…In patients presenting with lesions of the floor of the mouth, FNAC should be the diagnostic procedure of first choice [14]. Several neck cysts and neoplasms should be considered in the differential diagnosis such as:ranula, thyroglossal tract cyst, cystic hygroma, cervical lymphoepithelial cyst, and cellulitis among others [15].…”
