Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Dermoid Cyst Pathogenesis
Head and Neck Oncology

Background:

Congenital dermoid cysts are rare developmental anomalies.
Floor of mouth masses can pose diagnostic and management challenges.
Ectodermal remnants can lead to cyst formation in various head and neck locations.

The mass extended into the left submandibular triangle of the neck.
A combined intra-oral and cervical surgical approach was utilized for complete excision.

Findings:

Histopathology confirmed the mass as a congenital dermoid cyst.
The cyst originated from ectodermal remnants.
