“…In the oral cavity, the floor of the mouth stands as its preferred location, followed by other sites such as the lips 1 . However, DC arising from the upper lip was only reported in 4 previous cases 6,8,9,10 -50% of them affecting pediatric patients 9,10 , as in the present case.…”

“…Clinical differential diagnosis is extensive and includes a spectrum of oral lesions such as odontogenic and non odontogenic cysts and minor salivary gland tumors [10][11][12][13] . These lesions are often detected by the patient or during a routine dental exam, specially once located on the lips.…”

“…DCs are benign neoplasms and usually, are approached with conservative therapeutic management. The patients' clinical approach is usually determined by the location of the tumor (intraoral or extraoral) and patient's general health status (general anesthesia or local anesthesia) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . In general, DC shows good prognosis, however, Recurrences are rare, but have been reported in the literature, especially in cases that excision was not complete 16 .…”

Introduction: Dermoid cyst (DC) is a slow-growing benign developmental cysts that arises from ectodermal tissue and can occur anywhere in the body, with only 34% occurring in the head and neck region, of which 6.5% are located in the mouth floor and rarely in the upper lip. It usually presents as painless, slow-growing lesion with doughy consistency and is often soft and well encapsulated - generally observed on the second to third decade of life. Objective: The objective of this article is to report a case of DC, focusing on its clinical and histopathological characteristics, and to discuss possible clinical presentations to assist in the diagnosis of this rare lesion in the oral cavity. Case Report: A 4-year-old female was referred for evaluation of an asymptomatic swelling in the left upper lip mucosa region lasting 1 year. Extraoral clinical examination showed no alterations. Intraoral clinical examination revealed the presence of a single painless well-defined nodular, sessile, non-tender swelling covered by normal oral mucosa, and located in the upper labial mucosa. An excisional biopsy was performed, and microscopic examination revealed a cystic cavity covered by orthokeratinized stratified squamous epithelium with hair follicles and sebaceous glands found within the fibrous wall. Patient recovery was uneventful and there are no signs of local recurrence in a two-year clinical follow-up. Conclusion: DC can occur anywhere in the body, but once in the oral cavity, it is rarely observed in the upper lip.

“…Nearly 34% of dermoid cysts are found in the head and neck, of which 6.5% are located in the floor of the mouth [ 8 , 9 ]. Seven cases of dermoid cysts arising from the lip have been reported in previous studies, thereby underscoring the rarity of arising from this site ( Table 1 ) [ 3 , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] ]. These cysts are observed not only in young but also in middle-aged individuals.…”

“…[49][50][51] Given their uncertain path within the craniofacial territory, radiographic workup (CT, MRI) may be warranted, as up to 25% of midline dermoids may have intracranial extension. 49 Midline dermoids should prompt investigation for other congenital abnormalities.…”
