“…Clinically, the dermoid cysts usually present as a painless slow-growing mass at the sublingual, submental and submandibular region [6]. Dermoid cyst of the oral cavity is either sublingual or submental and starts in the midline [1,6,11,12], may extend laterally and downward and can attain a large size before presentation [1,6,11,12]. However, there can be sudden increase in the size of these lesions and it can be due to the onset of puberty when there is an increase in the secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands [5], or may be due to secondary infection of the cyst contents either by blockage of salivary glands involved in the cyst or by implantation of oral microbials into the cyst through trauma causing pain, trismus, fever, dysphagia, odynophagia and cervical lymphadenopathy [6,13,14].…”

“…Dermoid cysts are congenital lesions caused by a defect in the fusion of the embryonic lateral mesenchymatic mass and composed of tissues with different origins: ectoblastic, mesoblastic, or endoblastic, a true dermoid cyst cavity is covered with epithelium showing keratinisation and presenting identifiable dermal appendices [1]. These lesions rarely occur in the head and neck with an incidence ranging from 1.6 to 6.9%, and represent less than 0.01% of all oral cavity cysts [2][3][4].…”

The dermoid cysts of the mouth are most frequently located on the median line of the mouth floor and are most likely caused by the retention of the germinal epithelium during the growth of the mandible and hyoid branchial arches. We report an unusual case of giant dermoid cyst of the floor of the mouth in a 17-year female who presented with progressively increasing swelling below her tongue and reviewed the relevant literature.

Epidermoid and dermoid cysts are benign, developmental lesions that can be encountered anywhere in the body. Our literature search did not result in a finding of any report of an epidermoid cyst located in the palatine tonsils. This is a report of a 42-year-old female patient who underwent a tonsillectomy for diagnostic purposes because of an epidermoid cyst arising from the tonsil which was confirmed by histology.

“…Congenital cysts of ectodermal origin are uncommon in the oral cavity (1.6%), with epidermoid cysts rarely occurring there. They represent less than 0.01% of all oral cavity cysts [1]. The pathogenesis of the midline cysts of floor of mouth includes dysontogenetic, traumatic, and thyroglossal anomaly.…”

The incidence ranging of the dermoid and epidermoid cysts on the head and neck, from 1.6 to 7.0%, and they represent less than 0.01% of all oral cavity cysts. Histologically, they can be further classified as epidermoid, dermoid or teratoid. We analyzed two rare cases of large epidermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth, with sublingual as well as submental component resembling plunging ranula. Two female patients (age 15 and 16 y. o.), who’s had sublingual and submental swellings of oral floor with breathing and swallowing difficulties. The suspected clinical diagnosis of the sublingual dermoid or epidermoid cysts were supported by the radiological finding after performing ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On the radiological investigation the differentiation between epidermoid cysts, ranulas, cystic tumours, mucous extravasation phenomena and hygromas sometimes indistinguishable, leading in the determination of internal component differentiation and has pathognomonic signs to differentiate. The lesions were surgically excised using an intraoral approach. Microscopic examinations revealed a dermoid cyst of the epidermoid type.
