Epidermoid cysts are benign conditions that are thought to derive from abnormally situated ectodermal inclusions in the oral cavity. They are generally found in hands, fingers, feet, ovaries and testicles but in oral cavity they represent a very rare event. This is the first case of an intraosseous epidermoid cyst situated in the hard palate. Healing was uneventful and there was no sign of recurrence in 2-years follow-up.
表皮样囊肿是一种良性病变,被认为起源于口腔内位置异常的外胚层包涵体。它们通常见于手部、手指、足部、卵巢和睾丸,但在口腔中却非常罕见。这是首例位于硬腭的骨内表皮样囊肿。愈合过程顺利,在2年的随访中无复发迹象。
