“…DC of the jaw bone is exceedingly rare. Of the reported cases, six were in the mandible and two in the maxilla [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . In all the reported jaw bone DC, mature sebaceous glands, with or without other dermal appendages, such as sweat glands or hair follicles, were scattered in the connective tissue layer of the cyst wall.…”

“… 3–8 Numerous fully mature sebaceous glands, with or without other dermal appendages, were widely scattered in the connective tissue layer of the cyst wall of all reported cases. Of these, the only dermal appendages found were the sebaceous glands in two cases, 4,5 sebaceous glands and sweat glands in one case, 3 sebaceous glands and hair follicles in one case, 6 and three skin appendages (sebaceous glands, hair follicles and sweat glands) in two cases 7,8 . The presence of sebaceous glands is an indispensable histological element with which to make a diagnosis of dermoid cyst; soft tissue dermoid cysts usually contain sebaceous glands, hair follicles, hairs, eccrine glands and, in about 20% of cases, apocrine glands 1…”

“…In the oral region, most dermoid cysts occur in the midline of the floor of the mouth where they may produce considerable swelling, and are located rarely in the mucosa of the cheek, lip and tongue. As judged from the paucity of case reports, it would appear that dermoid cysts of the jaw are exceedingly rare, and only six such cases have been documented 3–8 . The present report describes multiple microcysts showing histological characteristics of dermoid cysts in the segmentally resected mandibular bone, and possible pathological differences between intraosseous dermoid cysts and odontogenic developmental cysts with marked keratinization (odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC)).…”

Dermoid cysts of the jaw are exceedingly rare, and only six such cases have been documented. The present paper reports a case with multiple microcysts showing histological characteristics of dermoid cyst in the surgically resected mandibular bone. These cysts were located near the inferior border of the mandibular bone, and histologically composed of an inner thin layer of squamous epithelium with marked hyperorthokeratinization and an outer layer of fibrous tissue containing numerous mature sebaceous glands. In addition, a hair follicle-like epithelial sphere was seen in part. The present microcysts suggest that it arises de novo, and one possible cause of jaw cysts could be sequestration of the stomadeal ectoderm that may have been trapped deep in the surface and embedded in the developing mandibular bone during embryogenesis. It may not be possible that such cysts developed from the odontogenic epithelial remnant undergoing dermoid metaplasia.

“…Oral dermoid cysts commonly occur in the midline of the mouth floor, although they are found in other soft tissue locations occasionally (1) and in the jaw bone rarely. Only 15 cases were found in the literature and 4 of these were found in the mandible (2, 3) (Table 1). The present case is the fifth instance of a dermoid cyst with all three skin appendages occurring in the mandibular bone.…”

Uncommon dermoid cyst presented in the mandible possibly originating from embryonic epithelial remnants

A case of an intraosseous dermoid cyst that had developed in the mandible of a 29-year-old-male is reported. The patient was admitted to our dental clinic complaining of pain in the right molar area of the mandible. The patient had no particular history of the present illness. A radiographic examination revealed diffuse bone absorption in the right molar area. A biopsy showed the lesion to be an intraosseous dermoid cyst which was surgically enucleated. Microscopic examination of the excised tissue showed it to be well circumscribed with fibrous tissues, and the cystic space lined by keratinized epithelium. In addition, sweat glands and hair follicle-like skin appendages were identified in the cystic wall, where a daughter cyst was also found. We suggested that this uncommon cyst had developed in the mandible, as a result of embryonic epithelium migration. The patient remained in good health during the three year follow-up.
