    Area of Science:

    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Dermoid cysts are congenital tumors containing skin and skin appendages.
    • Oral cavity dermoids represent a small fraction of head and neck dermoids.
    • Sublingual dermoids are the most common type within the oral cavity.

    Observation:

    • Congenital sublingual dermoids are exceptionally rare, particularly in infants.
    • Most oral dermoid lesions occur in young adults.
    • The anterior floor of the mouth is the most frequent location.

    Findings:

    • This report details the definition and classification of oral cavity dermoid cysts.
    • Clinical characteristics of these rare lesions are presented.
    • The rarity of congenital sublingual dermoids in infancy is emphasized.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the rarity and clinical presentation of congenital sublingual dermoids is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • This review aids clinicians in managing these uncommon pediatric oral lesions.
    • Further research into the embryogenesis and management of oral dermoid cysts is warranted.
