Transoral Dermoid Cyst Excision: A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study

Abstract

Transoral dermoid cyst excision is a potentially safe and effective method that can lead to easy and quick removal of an oral cavity dermoid cyst, with excellent cosmetic outcomes.

Diagnosis, management, and follow-up of extensive dermoid cyst of the submental region

“…On the other hand, when the cyst is located between or below the geniohyoid and mylohyoid muscle, a swelling is evident in the submental region, as observed in the present case 3 , 4 , 6. Other complaints may also be observed, including altered speech, difficulties with swallowing, phonation, and respiration, and double-chin development, especially in large lesions 3 , 4. In this case, the patient reported swallowing and breathing difficulty, probably due to the posterior expansion of the lesion in the submandibular space.…”

“…Although most cases are asymptomatic3 , 4 , 6 such as ours; pain is common if secondary infection is present. The typical clinical presentation in the floor of the mouth is asymptomatic swelling of slow growth located in the midline covered by the normal mucosa 3 , 4. However, the location of the DC concerning the geniohyoid and mylohyoid muscles influences its clinical presentation.…”

“…In this case, the patient reported swallowing and breathing difficulty, probably due to the posterior expansion of the lesion in the submandibular space. Large lesions, as observed in the present case, may also make it difficult or impossible for the patient to intubate during a general anesthesia process1 and it can also pose a critical risk to the airway 3. In these cases, partial aspiration of the cystic content of the lesion is recommended to improve patient breathing or facilitate intubation 1…”

“…Most of the lesions occur in the ovary and scrotal regions. Approximately 7% of cases of DC are diagnosed in the head and neck region 2 , 3. These lesions are extremely rare in the oral cavity, accounting for approximately 1.6% of all dermoid cysts3 and when it occurs intraorally, the floor of the mouth is the anatomical site more frequently involved 4 , 5.…”

Endoscope‐assisted transoral accessory parotid mass excision: Multicenter prospective observational study

“…Currently, endoscope‐assisted surgeries are becoming more frequent. We previously reported several advanced techniques for endoscope‐assisted transoral surgery in the head and neck area . These techniques may provide improved visualization and surgical precision, which can minimize the potential complications of the current transoral surgery for accessory parotid masses.…”
