The dermoid cyst in the floor of mouth is considered to bea rare condition which comprises only 1.6 to 6.5% of all body dermoid cysts. Dermoid cyst in the floor of mouth may be congenital or acquired. The congenital form results from defective embryonic development and the acquired form may be due to traumatic or iatrogenic causes; and as a result of the occlusion of a sebaceous gland duct. We report an unusual case of huge dermoid cyst in the floor of the mouth in a 12 year old male who presented with progressively increasing swelling below his tongue and reviewed the relevant literature.
口腔底部的皮样囊肿被认为是一种罕见病症,仅占全身皮样囊肿的1.6%至6.5%。口腔底部的皮样囊肿可能是先天性的,也可能是后天获得性的。先天性皮样囊肿是胚胎发育缺陷所致,后天获得性皮样囊肿可能由创伤或医源性原因引起,也可能是皮脂腺导管阻塞的结果。我们报告了一例12岁男性患者口腔底部巨大皮样囊肿的罕见病例,该患者表现为舌部下肿胀逐渐加重,并对相关文献进行了回顾。
