“…To the best of our knowledge, 9 cases of epidermoid cysts in the mandible have been reported in the English literature, including the present case [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Among 9 cases, 4 cases were located in the mandibular body alone, 3 cases were located in the mandibular ramus alone, including our present case, and 2 cases were located from the mandibular body to the ramus.…”

“…Only a few cases in literature describe intraossesus epidermoid cysts. According to an author, only 13 cases have been documented in literature, 7 in mandible and 6 in maxilla ( 4 ). Orbit is the most common location of epidermoid cyst at the head and neck (47%), followed by the mouth floor (23%) and the cervical area (9~24%), but in the jaw bone it is considered very infrequent ( 5 ).…”

“…In literature we have found a few case reports that associate mandibular cysts with or after extraction of third mandibular molar ( 6 ). Also, only one case of bilateral epidermoid associated with impacted mandibular wisdom teeth ( 4 ). There is a case report that associates epidermoid cysts with a gunshot incident a few years earlier where a bullet had penetrated the soft tissues of the face and fractured the left mandibular ramus.…”

Introduction:An epidermoid cyst is a benign cyst usually found on the skin. Bone cysts are very rare and if they appear in bone they usually appear in the distal phalanges of the fingers. Epidermoid cysts of the jaws are uncommon.Case presentation:We present a case, of a 41 year-old female patient admitted to our department because of pain and swelling in the parotid and masseteric region–left side. There was no trismus, pathological findings in skin, high body temperature level, infra-alveolar nerves anesthesia or lymphadenopathy present. The orthopantomography revealed a cystic lesion and a unilocular lesion that included mandibular ramus on the left side with 3 cm in diameter. Under total anesthesia, a cyst had been reached and was enucleated. Histopathologic findings showed that the pathologic lesion was an epidermoid cyst.Discussion:Epidermoid and dermoid cysts are rare, benign lesions found throughout the body. Only a few cases in literature describe an intraossesus epidermoid cyst.Conclusion:Our case is an epidermoid cyst with a rare location in the region of the mandibular ramus. It is not associated with any trauma in this region except medical history reveals there was an operative removal of a wisdom tooth 12 years ago in the same side. These cysts are interesting from the etiological point of view. They should be considered in the differential diagnosis of other radiolucent lesions of the jaws. Surgically they have a very good prognosis, and are non-aggressive lesions.

“…Head and neck epidermal cysts account for about 1.6–6.9%. There are seven cases of epidermal cysts reported in the English literature affecting the mandible with history of trauma in four of them. There is one case series of three affecting the mandible from France in 1977 with one reported malignant change.…”

“…These represent 0.01% of all cysts affecting the oral cavity. There are seven reported cases of intraosseous epidermal cysts in the oral cavity in English literature, of these five were in the mandible (four were post‐traumatic inclusion cysts and one was true intraosseous epidermal cysts). There are 11 cases reported in world journals with one reported case of malignant transformation of epidermal cyst affecting the mandible…”

We present a case of epidermal cyst affecting left body of the mandible. The reported incidence of epidermal cyst in the oral cavity is 1.6%, with floor of the mouth being the most common site. There are 16 reported cases of epidermal cysts in the mandible; of these four were post-traumatic inclusion cysts. Figure 2 Histology slide: Classical epidermal cyst lining with keratinised squamous epithelium and prominent granular cell layer.Figure 1 CT report:There is a 22 9 18 mm expansile lesion situated in the anterior aspect of the body of the left side of the mandible. It was displacing the neighbouring tooth roots. It has considerably thinned the cortex particularly buccally. The inferior dental canal was displaced inferiorly by the cystic lesion ( Fig S1).Oral Surgery 10 (2017) 171--173.
