Dermoid cysts are unusual neoplasms and can occur in every part of the human body. They represent only 6.9% of all dermoid cysts in the head and neck region; in the oral cavity, the incidence is low, approximately 1.6% of all dermoid cysts. Our aim is to present an unusual case of a large sublingual dermoid cyst with mandibular prognathism caused by cyst growth. We reported a case of a large sublingual dermoid cyst in an 8-year-old female patient. A bibliographic research from 1937 to 2013 is reviewed and we found only three cases of mandibular deformity, of which only one was a dermoid cyst of the floor of the mouth. Removal of dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth should be completed as early as detected, especially in newborns and infants when osseous growth abnormalities could result if removal is delayed.

“…Among salivary gland neoplasms, prominent cystic changes may occur in pleomorphic adenoma [31], Warthin tumor [32], mucoepidermoid carcinoma [33], or acinic cell carcinoma [34]. A cystic mass in the submandibular region must be differentiated from other nonneoplastic cystic swellings, such as submandibular branchial cyst [35], dermoid/epidermoid cyst [36], mucocele [27,37], rare cases of hydatid cyst [38], cystic hygroma [39], and salivary duct cyst [40]. Areas of necrosis and cystic degeneration have been found in some MECs [1,23].…”

Imaging features of myoepithelial carcinoma of the mandible with lymph node metastasis

Objectives To demonstrate the imaging characteristics of a patient with myoepithelial carcinoma (MEC) of the mandible accompanied by submandibular lymph node metastases, and to discuss the differential image-based diagnoses. Patients and resultsThe patient was a 57-year-old woman who had suffered from a dull pain in her left lower molar region for 3 months and had an elastic-soft mass in her submandibular region for 2 months. Computed tomography (CT) images showed permeative destruction of the bone trabecula and intermittent absorption of the cortical plates in the left mandible. The bone marrow of this area showed low signal intensity in a T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) image, slightly low signal intensity in a T2-weighted image, and marked contrast enhancement. A tumor was confirmed outside the buccal and lingual cortical plates. The left submandibular mass was shown as a well-defined, water-density mass by CT, low signal intensity in the T1-weighted MR image, and markedly high signal intensity in the T2-weighted image. The histopathological diagnosis was MEC of the mandible with submandibular lymph node metastasis. ConclusionsWe demonstrated the imaging characteristics of MEC, showing permeative destruction of the bone trabecula, intermittent absorption of the mandible, and cystic degeneration of the metastatic cervical lymph node.

“…The floor of the mouth is their preferred location, and the sublingual, sub mental, or laterally between the hyoglossus and mylohyoid www.ijcasereportsandimages.com Abdulai et al 409 muscles are locations of occurrence in descending order of frequency [1][2][3][4]. Plunging dermoid cysts are extremely rare [1,2]; and so are lateral dermoid cysts [5]. They have both often posed some diagnostic confusion when they occur [1,5].…”

Introduction: Dermoid cysts are benign cystic teratomas with epithelial lined cavities, bearing hair follicles, hair, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and occasionally tissues derived from the mesoderm. Dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth are relatively rare but when they occur, are commonly restricted to one anatomic zone and in the midline region. They are treated surgically. Case Report: We present a case of a lateral dermoid cyst mimicking a plunging ranula extending from the upper part of the neck, on the right side, upwards into the sub-mandibular region and via a hiatus in the mylohyoid muscle into the floor of the mouth, in a 24-year-old Ghanaian male. Conclusion: The treatment of dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth is surgical, using either an intraoral, extra oral or both approaches depending on the localization
