“…Typically, dermoid cysts are asymptomatic but can cause complications such as inflammation, dysphagia, dystonia, disorders of swallowing, chewing, or vocal function, and airway encroachment due to mass effects (15,16). Those complications are mostly related to cyst size.…”

Background: A dermoid cyst is a cystic lesion of developmental origin and uncertain etiology that rarely affects the floor of the mouth. It usually presents as a non-tender, slow-growing swelling in the sublingual region. Case presentation: A large lesion was found in the sublingual and submandibular regions of a 15-yearold female patient who presented to our clinic with the chief complaint of a sublingual mass that had been present for many years but had enlarged over the last year. Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed a giant cystic mass that was a 4.6 x 3.3 cm flask-shaped cystic lesion with a non-enhancing wall in the midline of the sublingual space. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast revealed a well-defined cystic mass with heterogeneous fluid on all sequences. The histopathology report was suggestive of a dermoid cyst. The intraoral approach was preferred for surgery, and no recurrence or complaints were detected during the follow-up period. Conclusion: The pathological diagnosis of the presented case was an epidermoid cyst. For giant dermoid cysts, a surgical incision is considered an effective treatment of choice. This offers a good prognosis and very low chances of recurrence. To achieve the best cosmetic effects, an intraoral technique should be chosen whenever possible.

“…The teratoid cyst is also an epithelium-lined cyst containing mesodermal or endodermal elements, such as the muscle, bone, teeth and mucous membranes [ 1 , 2 ]. Dermoid cysts, which are congenital, are caused by the entrapment of ectodermal tissues during midline closure of the first and second branchial arches [ 5 ] and the abnormal burial of a lateral cervical cyst or the residual tuberculum impar [ 6 ]. Moreover, they can be attributed to the entrapment of epithelial debris due to trauma, inflammation or surgery and epidermal atheromas [ 7 ].…”

“…Furthermore, imaging alone may not be able to distinguish between lesions. For example, radiologically it is very difficult to differentiate between a dermoid cyst confined within the sublingual space, and a ranula 8 9. This is evidenced by Puricelli et al , who reported the recurrence of a dermoid cyst treated two times by marsupialisation as it was misdiagnosed previously for a ranula.…”

A 4-month-old boy presented with a cystic swelling at the floor of the mouth causing acute airway compromise. The only previous history of note, was a tongue tie release at 3 days old. CT scan suggested a dermoid cyst with extensive floor of mouth abscess. He had an excision of the cyst and drainage of the superimposed abscess and made a good recovery. The histology report revealed a dermoid cyst which is a rare diagnosis in a child, particularly within the oral cavity. Early treatment is required to remove these lesions especially when they cause airway compromise or swallowing difficulties. This is the first case to our knowledge which suggests tongue tie release procedures causes a predisposition to the development of dermoid cysts in the oral cavity.
