“…This concept indicates that dermoid cysts develop due to the entrapment of epithelial cells during the embryonic phase, specifically during the fusion of the first and second pharyngeal arches in the midline, which occurs between the third and fourth weeks of gestation. This theory supports the idea that dermoid cysts have a developmental origin linked to the complex process of human embryogenesis [8].…”

(1) Background: Dermoid cysts occurring in the sublingual space are uncommon, typically manifesting as painless, gradually enlarging masses, usually not exceeding 3 cm in diameter. These cysts can resemble various conditions due to their clinical presentation, with a relatively low occurrence rate in the oral cavity, accounting for about 1.6% of all dermoid cysts. (2) Methods: We present the case of a 17-year-old female with a giant dermoid cyst involving the submental, sublingual, and lingual areas, undiagnosed for several years. Diagnosis was achieved through MRI and fine-needle aspiration, leading to the decision for surgical removal through a cervical approach. (3) Results: The healing process was uneventful. From the first day post-surgery, the patient began myofunctional therapy, successfully regaining proper tongue functions. Throughout a 24-month follow-up, the patient remained symptom-free. (4) Conclusions: A cervical approach can successfully treat giant oral dermoid cysts involving submental, sublingual, and lingual spaces. Tongue function can be successfully regained through myofunctional therapy after surgical treatment.

“…To our knowledge, 33 cases of dermoid cysts of the oral floor have been described in the literature for the last decade. The ratio of males to females was 1.5:1 (20:13) and the average age was 20.1 years (5 months‐66 years) . The age of the current patient was inconsistent with that reported previously.…”

Dermoid cysts, which are lined by ectoderm elements, typically arise in skin, testicles, and ovaries. These cysts mostly occur during the second or third decade of life and rarely present in children. We describe a rare case of a dermoid cyst in a 6-year-old Japanese girl. Examination showed a smooth, well-defined cystic swelling approximately 30 × 20 mm 2 in the midline of the oral floor. The cyst was excised via the intraoral approach under general anesthesia. The histopathologic diagnosis of a dermoid cyst was made. The clinical outcome was satisfactory without postoperative complications during the 26-month follow-up period.

“…Many reports have been made on the size of this type of cyst [7]. This cyst is slow growing and does not cause any dysfunction (dysphonia, dysphagia, dyspnea, or mastication disorders) until it is relatively large [8]. As a result, the period of time until a hospital visit is delayed, and the cyst at that time is often huge [9].…”

The frequency of epidermoid cysts in the maxillofacial region is relatively low. Reported: a case of a giant sublingual epidermoid cyst on the floor of the mouth. Case: 38-year-old woman. Chief complaint: oral swelling and respiratory distress. History of present illness: no special notes. Current medical history: she was aware of swelling of the floor of the mouth six months before visiting our department and was referred to our department because of increasing size. Present symptoms: at the time of examination, forced respiration and dysarthria were observed and a spherical soft elastic and well-defined mass was observed on the floor of the mouth. Due to the lesion, the tongue was displaced to the pharyngeal side and the tip of the tongue could not be confirmed. Imaging tests revealed a 65 mm × 76 mm × 54 mm well-defined mass on the mylohyoid muscle, and a dermoid or epidermoid cyst was suspected. Based on the clinical diagnosis of the cyst, the bulk of the cyst contents was reduced under general anesthesia, and the cyst was removed by intraoral surgery. The pathological diagnosis was an epidermoid cyst. For sublingual giant epidermoid cysts, removal by content reducing surgery was considered to be effective.
