Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Dermoid Cysts

Background:

  • Sublingual dermoid cysts are rare congenital tumors that can significantly impact oral functions.
  • Large cysts present unique challenges in diagnosis and management due to their size and location.

Observation:

  • A massive sublingual dermoid cyst occupying nearly the entire oral cavity was observed.
  • The cyst caused severe disturbances in swallowing (dysphagia) and voice production (dysphonia).

Findings:

  • Differential diagnoses were considered to distinguish the cyst from other oral pathologies.
  • Surgical excision was identified as the primary treatment approach for complete removal.

Implications:

  • Effective surgical strategies are crucial for managing large sublingual dermoid cysts.
  • Restoration of normal swallowing and voice function is the main goal of surgical intervention.
