Abstract
|
|
|
A Multiple dermoid cyst is a rare tumor in the floor of the mouth. It presents as abnormal cystic
development in the midline as a result of displaced or enclaved embryonic epithelium during the midline
closure of the first and second bilateral branchial arches. Dermoid cyst is classified inot three categories
according to its histological type ; dermoid, epidermoid, and teratoma. The treatment of choice is complete
surgical excision and prognosis is excellent. We present a recently encountered case of a multiple dermoid
cyst in the floor of the mouth ; the cyst was removed using the intraoral approach.
