Summary
Epidermoid cysts are rare in the orofacial region. This study successfully treated two intraoral epidermoid cysts in the cheek using an intraoral surgical approach.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dermatology
- Head and Neck Pathology
Background:
- Epidermoid cysts are benign epithelial tumors that can develop anywhere on the skin.
- While common on the body, they are infrequently found in the orofacial region.
- Incidence rates indicate 7% in the head and neck, and 1.6% in the oral cavity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report two rare cases of intraoral epidermoid cysts.
- To describe the successful surgical management of these cysts via an intraoral approach.
Main Methods:
- Diagnosis of two epidermoid cysts located in the left cheek.
- Surgical excision of both cysts utilizing an intraoral surgical technique.
Main Results:
- Both epidermoid cysts were successfully removed.
- The intraoral approach facilitated complete excision with no reported complications.
Conclusions:
- Intraoral epidermoid cysts, though uncommon, can be effectively treated surgically.
- An intraoral approach is a viable and successful method for managing cheek epidermoid cysts.
